First Continental Congress vs. PSEC

The first continental congress does in some ways relate to the way PSEC runs as a self governing school. The first continental congress was a group of colonists who came together to stand up for their rights. PSEC is a school who comes together as a whole in community meetings to discuss any problems or to make any suggestions to make our school that much better. Every student at our school has a chance to have their voice heard. PSEC also comes together as a whole to vote for the Advisory Council, who then do everything they can to make our community run more smoothly. I think that PSEC could be more effective in its governing process if more people were interested, and contributed their ideas more. If no one ever has any changes to make, suggestions or ideas then everything will stay the way it is. As an individual of the PSEC community myself I will attend all community meetings, and support those who join the Advisory Council. Something that I would change would be to make the meetings more interesting, fun, and engage all community members. The PSEC government has come along with some challenges just like any other government has. Still early in the year these challenges are not very hard yet, the only thing that really stands out is the lack participation for many different things. I am hoping that once the Advisory Council has been appointed then they will be able to start fixing that. As the year goes on I know we will run into more bumps in the road and it is not only up to the Advisory Council to fix all of them. Since PSEC is a self governing school it is up to every single person in this community to help keep everyone up, and this community successful.
