Every year, hundreds of leaders receive training from Patriot Academy. And every year that number is increasing! Through email updates, our social media, and the Patriot Press, we work to keep you informed about the impact that supporters like you are having through Patriot Academy’s work.
It’s one thing for us to tell you about the impact Patriot Academy is having, and the difference it is making in the hearts and lives of America’s leaders, but it’s another thing for us to show you.
And what better way than through the testimony of the students themselves.
What first got you interested in Patriot Academy?
Rep. Rick Green’s gave a speech at my FPEA homeschool graduation.
Was the experience what you had expected? Why or why not?
No. It was unexpected because, while I expected something good, I had no idea the magnitude of positive impact PA would have on my life.
Has Patriot Academy changed the direction where you see your life heading?
Yes. It is the reason I gained a desire to practice law and eventually enter politics. Because of Patriot Academy I am working at a law firm now and have large scholarships to all of my top law schools. I’ve also been active in policy, spoke before the FL Constitution Revision Commission, spoke to legislators, and have been directly involved in the Panhandle Votes initiative which made a big impact on the recent midterm elections.
I would be doing none of this had it not been for Patriot Academy.
What particular skills did Patriot Academy teach you that you are using today?
How to present myself on stage, how to build rapport, how do discern true vs. revisionist history, and how to read and write policy are among skills learned at Patriot Academy which I use today.
What opportunities and/or connections came as a result of Patriot Academy?
I am now Governor of the Southeast Regional Patriot Academy. I also got the blessing of getting to know Rep. Rick Green, some members of his family, and fellow Patriot Academy students.
What was the most important thing you learned at Patriot Academy?
America isn’t lost yet. Furthermore, I can help make sure it never is.
