The
Nevada
youth
legislature
will
please
come
to
order.
Please
remember
the
importance
of
courtesy
at
our
meetings.
There
are
overhead
mics,
so
please
stay
focused
on
the
proceedings
of
our
training
and
avoid
side
conversations
itinerary
item
2
is
training
regarding
maximizing
outcomes
for
the
NYL
bill.
I
will
turn
the
training
over
to
Senator
weiner
for
her
presentation.
B
You
have
it
in
your
packet,
but
I'm
going
to
share
and
refresh
you
much
of
this,
who
you've
already
heard
through
the
different
trainings
of
your
first
year
of
your
two-year
term
before
and
I
also
want
to
stress
too,
which
is
not
in
your
materials
that
there
are
ways
for
all
of
you
to
be
engaged
in
the
advocacy.
There
will
certainly
be
a
specified
youth
legislators
at
the
table
during
the
hearings.
However,
all
of
you
have
an
opportunity
to
participate,
as
advocates
so
historically,
we've
had
to
do
written
testimony
because
of
pandemic.
B
What
I
encourage
all
of
you
to
think
about
as
I'm
teaching
you
some
of
these
tips
and
refreshing
on
some
of
these
pointers,
that
we
would
encourage
any
of
you
or
all
of
you
who
are
interested
to
prepare
written
testimony
that
to
support
the
NYL
bill,
because
it
is
the
Bill
of
the
youth
legislature.
This
bill
is
the
youth
legislature's
measure
going
into
session.
So
all
of
you
have
a
voice
in
in
advocating
for
the
NYL
bill.
So
please
consider
submitting
written
testimony
to
the
committee.
B
It
will
be
heard
that
on
the
15th
of
March,
the
Senate
education
committee
and
you
can
provide
Tina,
can
send
information
about
the
details
of
the
due
dates
for
Testimony
to
be
submitted
to
the
committee,
but
it
will
go
into
the
record.
Your
voice
will
be
heard
as
part
of
the
hearing
record
for
this
measure,
so
you
can
have
a
very
substantial
role
in
advocating
for
the
bill.
Even
if
you
are
not
at
the
table,
you
can
provide
written
testimony.
B
So
as
we
move
forward
in
these
tips,
keep
that
in
mind
as
you
consider
whether
or
not
you
want
to
take
that
role
and
participate
at
that
level
in
presenting
or
advocating
for
your
bill.
You
want
to
be
assured
that
you
know
how
to
to
open
your
remarks,
what
to
do
with
the
middle
and
how
to
conclude
in
the
opening
your
your
you
have
just
a
short
period
of
time,
and
this
will
be
the
same
thing
in
written
to
this.
B
B
You
can
use
a
statistic,
there's
something
that
can
generate
interest
very
early
and
also
to
engage
the
very
beginnings
of
a
relationship
between
you,
The
Advocate
and
those
who
are
going
to
be
processing
the
measure,
because
one
of
the
most
important
things
in
any
communication,
whether
it
be
before
legislators
before
friends
at
school,
before
possible
Employers
in
schools,
one
of
the
biggest
factors
that
will
grow
from
that
very
first
moment
is
trust
that
you
have
the
opportunity
to
plant
the
seeds
to
grow.
Throughout.
B
This
experience,
they
need
to
be
able
to
trust
you
with
what
you
say
who
you
are,
how
you
choose
to
show
up
in
terms
of
providing
information
to
them,
so
opening
remarks
generated
interest.
This
is
where
you
inspire
legislators
and
others
who
may
be
important
in
this
measures.
Movement.
This
is
where
you
inspire
their
interests.
You
generate
an
interest
in
the
measure
before
them.
B
How
is
this
going
to
affect
my
district?
How
is
this
going
to
affect
the
young
people
of
Nevada?
You
have
an
opportunity
to
demonstrate
and
provide
benefits
through
your
own
remarks
why
this
is
an
important
measure
and
how
it
will
benefit
as
many
people
as
you
can,
because
that
will
be
people
in
their
districts
as
well
and
then
in
the
conclusion
you
tie
back
to
the
beginning.
So
the
beginning
is
an
introduction.
You're
building
the
relationship
you're
establishing
the
message
that
you're
going
to
be
delivering
in
the
body.
The
conclusion
is
the
wrap-up.
B
You
want
to
make
sure
you're
giving
them
three
chances
to
understand
the
measure.
The
conclusion
brings
it
all
together,
and
this
is
where
you
ask
for
support.
Please
don't
leave
them
hanging.
This
is
why
you
at
you,
you
ask
for
their
support.
It's
like
the
closing
of
a
deal.
They
want
to
know
that
you're
seeking
their
help
through
their
vote
in
tips.
Please
don't
overload
them
it's
very
difficult,
it's
if
they
have
written
remarks
in
front
of
them,
but
you
want
them
to
pay
attention
to
you
wherever
possible.
B
Please
don't
overload
them
with
so
much
information.
You
know
what
it's
like
being
in
a
classroom
and
even
if
there's
a
PowerPoint
or
handouts,
if
there's
so
much
information,
people
shut
down
so
pick
one
or
two
really
significant
things
to
talk
about,
and
you
can
do
it
anecdotally
or
through
a
very,
very
important
statistic:
trending,
whatever
you
choose
to
use,
let
them
have
the
opportunity
to
really
absorb
what
your
message
is
and
don't
overload
them
with
too
much.
B
Also
pay
attention,
whether
you're,
one-on-one
or
in
front
of
the
committee,
or
do
some
homework
in
advance
and
learn
about
the
people
you're
presenting
to
pay
attention
to
how
they're
responding
to
what
what
you're
saying
their
listening
skills
with
you
are
going
to
be
very
relevant
in
how
you
boost
your
presentation
when
you
are
paying
attention
in
your
delivery.
Make
sure
that
you
bring
everybody
into
the
conversation
everybody
into
your
remarks.
If
you're
answering
a
question
you
typically,
this
is
a
very
I.
Don't
even
know
how
long
ago
I
learned
this.
B
But
if
someone
asks
you
a
question,
you
you
start
there,
but
maybe
25
percent
of
your
energy
is
going
to
go
to
that
one
person.
You
want
everybody
to
be
included
because
at
some
point,
if
you're
only
focusing
on
one
there's
the
human
response
to
exclusion
and
they
shut
down
unless
they're
really
interested
in
their
own
right.
But
you
want
everybody
to
feel
included
as
a
listener.
B
What
their
concerns
are,
what
their
questions
are,
and
it's
not
just
what
they're
saying
pay
attention
to
their
whole
body
language,
their
eye
contact,
if
they're
really
paying
attention
to
you,
because
a
lot
of
things
can
be
said
through
the
non-verbals,
a
lot
of
think
that's,
not
speaking,
but
all
the
other
body
language
55
percent
is
not
involving
the
spoken
word
when
they
do
speak,
pay
attention
to
how
they
use
their
voice.
In
speaking
to
you,
that's
38.
The
words
themselves
are
seven
percent
they're,
very
important,
seven
percent.
B
However,
all
the
other
components
are
very
relevant
in
how
you
pay
attention
to
what's
important
to
them.
Listen
have
have
respect
for
the
people
at
a
human
level,
as
well
as
at
the
positional
level
of
the
role
they
play
in
the
decision-making
process
and
again
listen
to
the
complete
do
not
interrupt
them.
B
If,
if
there's
something
you
don't
understand,
wait
until
they're
done
safe
and
I
often
do
is
because
I,
don't
understand
and
I'll
say,
may
I
go
back
and
I
often
ask
permission,
may
I
go
back
and
I
have
a
question
about
this
I'm,
not
quite
clear
about
what
it
is.
You
said
here
or
or
the
way
you
defined
it
or
the
way
you
described
it.
B
Could
you
provide
a
little
more
clarity
for
me
because
you
have
a
job
as
a
listener
to
be
fully
engaged
when
you
are
interacting
with
legislators,
it's
not
just
about
you
talking
at
them.
It's
about
you
listening
to
them
as
well,
and
this
is
one
of
those
transferable
skills
we
talked
about
in
the
training.
This
is
a
skill
set
that
you
will
take
everywhere.
B
You
go
for
the
rest
of
your
lives,
the
listening
as
well
as
the
effect
of
presenting
one
thing,
that's
very
important
to
know
too,
in
whatever
context
that
you're
having
a
conversation
and
not
not
necessarily
be
this,
but
it
can
happen.
Sometimes
somebody
might
be
angry
or
have
a
negative
response
or
there's
something
that
you
didn't
expect
maybe
did
expect
it
doesn't
matter
but
you're
experiencing
it.
What
what
often
happens
in
a
conversation
when
one
of
the
two
parties
flares
up
or
responds
in
a
negative
or
of
angry
way.
B
Please
know
that
that
typically,
typically
anger
or
or
disappointment
or
negative
responses
are
very
brief
that
they
fill
a
gap,
something
triggered
that
they
fill
a
gap
between
rational
times.
In
the
conversation
please
allow
it
to
move
through,
do
not
respond
necessarily
to
the
emotion,
a
negative
emotion.
Listen,
that
your
job
is
to
listen
more
for
content,
not
for
the
emotion,
emotion
will
come
and
go
what
your
job
is
to
listen,
I'm,
not
saying
ignore
it,
but
don't
let
it
dominate.
The
content
is
what
you
want
to
focus
on.
B
That's
what
you're
there
to
do
in
answering
questions.
There
are
certain
tips
that
again
we
shared
throughout
the
first
year.
You
are
there,
whether
it's
written
or
in
person,
to
present
testimony
from
a
position
of
strength
and
that
you
often
hear
me
say
that
strength
of
had
what
you
know
and
it's
also
strength
of
heart.
B
When
we
truly
feel
strong
about
what
it
is
we
want
to
advocate
for,
then
we
can
find
this
and
there's
all
kinds
of
information
around
this
this
bill,
but
we
can
find
the
when
the
heart's
the
driver
we
can
fill
in
the
head
stuff.
But
we've
got
to
be
committed
and
that's
where
we
show
up
as
our
authentic
selves
with
Integrity,
not
just
puppetry,
but
truly
believing
and
and
transmitting
what
we
feel.
Please
be
careful
about
negative
words
or
negative
language.
B
So
one
of
the
things
that
I
shared
with
you
under
message,
accountability
all
those
many
months
ago,
deals
with
vocal
disclaimers
and
it's
it's.
It's
happens
all
the
time.
Once
you
know
about
this,
you
hear
it
all
the
time
and
you
go.
Oh
I
know
what
that
is.
Vocal
disclaimers
are
are
phrases
that
we
use
in
front
of
what
we're
about
to
say,
but
they
serve
as
an
apology
or
an
excuse
for
not
being
comfortable
with
what
we're
about
to
say.
B
So,
for
example,
oh
I
might
I
might
not
know
enough
about
this,
but
let
me
share
or
I'm
not
the
expert
on
this
or
I.
Don't
know
if
I'm,
the
right
person
or
I
don't
know
if
I've
studied
in
them,
but
and
often
the
word
that
follows
this.
But
what
you
want
to
do
is
not
give
people
a
reason
not
to
believe
you
so
find
an
area
within
the
context
where
you
feel
strong
enough
to
talk
about
it
from
a
position
of
strength.
B
Please
do
not
start
from
a
position
of
giving
someone
the
permission
not
to
consider
you
credible
to
talk
about
this
subject
find
an
area
of
it
where
you
are
very
comfortable
so
that
you
don't
have
to
apologize
for
being
the
voice,
also
you'll
find
in
life.
Sometimes
people
will
will
ask
you
something
and
it's
very
natural
to
come
back
with.
No,
that
isn't
what
it
is.
I'd
love
to
see
up
in
the
north
has
that
ever
happened,
or
you
start
with?
No,
that's
not
what
happened?
No,
that's
not
what
I
said.
B
No,
we
start
with
no
when
you
start
with
no
you're,
starting
from
a
place
of
denial
and
negativity,
and
so
all
of
the
effort
going
into
what
follows
the
No
No
that
isn't
what
happened.
This
is
what
happened?
No,
that's
not
what
I
said
this
is
what
I
said
you
are
spending
all
of
your
energy
building
back
to
what
you
want
them
to
know
so,
you're,
starting
from
below
zero,
and
at
best
you
get
to
neutral.
B
You
put
a
lot
of
energy
in
to
defend
what
isn't
I'm,
not
saying
you
ignore
it,
but
pause
and
say.
Let
me
explain
what
is
let
me
explain
what
I
said
now.
Do
you
distinguish
the
difference?
I'm,
not
starting
from
a
point
of
Defending
and
I
am
addressing
the
subject
but
I'm
addressing
the
subject
of
the
question
or
the
statement
from
what
is
not
defending
what
isn't
and
then
moving
to
what
is.
B
I
cannot
stress
enough,
as
we've
said
over
and
over
as
we
do
throughout
the
entire
program,
preparation
preparation,
preparing
your
written
testimony
prior
to
submitting
it
sit
with
it
a
little
bit
think
of
the
written
testimony
as
an
assignment.
This
isn't
just
all
right
and
be
done
with
it's,
not
a
note,
you're
passing
to
a
friend
in
the
hallway.
B
Whatever
you
choose
to
write
or
say
at
the
table
or
submit
as
written
testimony
is
public
record,
it
will
be
part
of
the
archives
of
this
bill
for
the
remaining
history
of
the
state
for
a
very
long
time.
It
will
be
part
of
a
record
that
others
can
go
back
and
review
testimony
to
determine
what
the
reasons
were
of
different
youth
legislators.
Why
they
wanted
this
measure.
It
is
historic
and
it
lasts
Way
Beyond
you
so
knowing
that
as
we've
taught
you
think
ahead
before
you
open
your
mouth
to
speak.
B
Please
also
think
ahead
about
how
you
would
prepare
your
remarks
before
the
witness
at
the
for
present
presentation
at
the
witness
table
or
presentation
to
your
legislators
in
their
office
or
presentation
anywhere
else
or
for
the
record
of
the
committee.
Please
think
it
out
in
advance
prepare
it
as
though
this
were
the
most
important
paper
you
would
ever
submit
in
your
high
school
and
college
careers,
because
this
has
a
very
long
life
on
the
plus
side.
B
When
you
prepare
that
far
in
advance,
you
can
find
great
joy
and
satisfaction
in
knowing
you've,
given
it,
your
all,
you've
done
your
homework.
You've
you've
submitted
something
that
you
can
actually
sign
your
name
to,
and
it
becomes
part
of
the
record
so
thinking
this
isn't
something
you
do
in
a
a
split
second
last
minute.
This
is
something
that's
very
thoughtful
and
that
you
can
be
very
pleased
about
bottom
line.
On
all
of
this
tell
the
truth.
B
Please
tell
the
truth.
I
underscore
that
tell
the
truth,
because
this
as
I
said
this
becomes
part
of
a
permanent
record.
This
becomes
part
of
a
life
that
you
are
your
your
piece
of
a
measure
that
becomes
part
of
Nevada
history
and
cross
fingers.
Part
of
the
Nevada
revised
statutes
going
forward
affecting
children,
countless
children
for
years
to
come,
and
you
have
an
opportunity
to
have
a
voice
in
this
process,
whether
at
the
witness
table
through
written
testimony,
through
advocacy
with
your
own
legislators
through
advocacy
to
the
members
of
the
committee.
B
There
are
all
kinds
of
ways
that
you
can
have
a
voice
going
forward
in
moving
this
measure
through
the
legislative
process,
and
we
invite
you
to
take
advantage
of
that
because
it
is
the
Bill
of
the
Nevada
youth
legislature
and
each
one
of
you
is
a
member
with
an
equal
voice
to
be
heard
and
we're
inviting
you
to
participate.
So
Mr
chair.
If
I
may
ask.
If
there
are
any
questions.
A
Legislators
have
questions
for
Senator,
weiner
I,
don't
see
any
from
the
north.
I
can't
see
the
South,
though
so.
B
A
We
will
now
move
on
to
itinerary
item
three,
which
is
NYL
alumni,
Mentor
trainer
suggestions
regarding
maximizing
outcomes
for
the
NYL
bill.
Today,
we'll
hear
from
former
youth
legislators,
Ken
Brook
and
molecd
Haley
meskel.
Before
we
begin
would
each
of
you
please
tell
us
one
significant
way:
the
NYL
has
enriched
our
lives
beyond
your
participation
in
the
program,
Mr
Burke,
we'll
start
with
you.
C
Thank
you,
Mr,
chair
and
good
to
see.
You
I
think
it
goes
without
saying
that
each
of
you
have
such
an
incredible
opportunity
right
now.
The
the
experiences
that
you're
getting
through
the
Nevada
youth
legislature
and
I
do
have
to
say
as
well
the
wisdom
that
Senator
weiner
is
imparting
with
you.
I
please
take
to
heart.
C
It
was
a
former
state,
senator
Greg
Brower,
who
appointed
me
to
my
seat
back
in
2011
that
ended
up
leading
to
me
to
work
for
his
campaign.
I
met,
Congressman,
Mark
hamiday
through
that
and
now
I
live
and
work
in
DC
and
I
am
grateful
to
the
Nevada
youth
legislature
every
day
for
where
it's
taken
me.
A
Thank
you,
Miss
Haley
meskel,
please.
Let
us
know
how
the
NYL
program
enriched
your
life
too.
Thank
you.
D
The
Nevada
youth
legislators,
hello,
Senator
weiner,
thank
you
guys
so
much
for
inviting
me.
The
NYL
has
truly
changed
my
life
forever
and
for
the
better,
of
course,
it
has
introduced
me
to
amazing
brilliant
people
that
I
got
to
spend
so
much
time
with
throughout
the
course
of
my
Nyo
experience,
so
definitely
stay
in
touch
and
cherish
the
people
that
you've
met
throughout
your
NYL
experience.
D
It's
also
allowed
me
to
get
mentorship
from
Senator
weiner
that
I
value
so
so
much,
and
it
also
allowed
me
to
get
a
voice
in
my
community
and
actually
make
a
change
throughout
the
community,
and
you
know
passed
the
bill
that
I
was
so
passionate
about
with
the
help
of
my
peers.
So,
overall
it
was
an
enriching
experience,
one
that
I
never
thought
that
I
would
get
when
I
was
in
high
school.
D
So
just
the
people
that
I've
met
Senator
wieners,
you
know
mentorship
and
also
the
the
whole
experience
of
passing
a
bill
was
very
enriching
and
I.
The
lessons
that
I've
learned
from
the
Nevada
youth
legislature
I
take
that
with
me
every
single
day.
A
Thank
you
for
sharing
I
think
we're
ready
to
proceed
with
the
discussion.
Youth
legislator,
Greenstein
I,
believe
you
have
a
question
for
Miss
Haley
missile.
Please
proceed
I.
E
Do
youth
legislators
will
participate
in
NYL
day
on
March
15
2023
prior
to
that?
How
can
or
should
youth
legislators
prepare
themselves
to
advocate
for
the
NYL
bill.
D
The
best
way
to
advocate
for
an
Nyo
bill
is
to
really
believe
in
it
and
portray
that
belief.
You
all
are
very
intelligent
and
bright
youth
legislators
and
you
came
together
and
chose
this
bill
because
you
believe
that
it
will
benefit
your
constituents.
So
with
that
being
said,
do
your
research
on
it
know
the
bill
inside
and
out.
So
you
can
answer
any
questions
on
it
and
be
authentic
in
showing
why
you
care
about
this
bill
and
how
it's
going
to
benefit
your
constituents
benefit
the
Youth
of
Nevada
and
one
more
thing.
I
know.
D
Senator
weiner
has
probably
mentioned
it
to
you
guys
many
times,
but
my
biggest
advice
is
honestly
to
make
a
list
of
any
possible
questions
that
they
can
ask
you
and
answer
answer
those
questions.
Answer
like
all
the
questions,
any
possible
questions
that
you
think
they
might
ask
you
and
answer
them
write
them
down,
study
them
that
way,
you're
prepared
for
any
questions
that
they
could
possibly
ask
you.
We
won't
be
too
stunned
when
they
ask
you
questions.
A
Thank
you,
Miss
Haley,
miskel,
youth
legislator,
butt
nagar.
Do
you
have
a
question
for
Mr
Brooke.
C
Great
question:
let
me
unmute
myself
great
question
and
thanks
for
for
asking
that
I
think
a
lot
of
the
questions
are
specific
to
the
audience
that
you're
speaking
before
as
well
know
the
background
of
the
elected
officials
that
you'll
be
appearing
before.
C
Perhaps
if
someone
on
the
committee
or
the
panel
that
you're
appearing
before
has
a
background
in
public
education
or
something
related
to
youth
issues,
know
that
they
might
be
an
ally
and
or
at
least
supportive
of
your
overall
mission,
also
be
prepared,
one
of
the
biggest
things
that
I
face
in
in
my
job,
when
I'm
I'm
preparing
my
boss
for
any
sort
of
hearings,
or
anything
like
that,
is
also
what
general
costs
can
be,
what
different
Staffing
might
be
necessary
for
for
the
implementation
of
a
policy
proposal.
C
Really
you
can't
always
anticipate
every
single
question.
That's
going
to
come
up,
especially
when
you
have
a
diverse
audience,
but
I
think
knowing
your
audience.
I
will
certainly
put
you
in
a
good
position,
doing
a
little
extra
research
in
advance
of
what
their
interests
are
and
where
they
might
be
coming
from
with
their
perspectives.
A
G
D
Thank
You
Youth
legislator
for
that
question,
the
best
way
to
maximize
your
opportunities
is
to
definitely
submit
powerful
written
testimonies
to
support
the
passage
of
the
NYL
bills.
So,
like
I
said
you
all
came
together
and
agreed
upon
a
bill
that
you
think
will
benefit
the
Youth
of
Nevada
so
submitting
a
powerful
testimony
to
convince
legislators
to
vote
on
your
bill
is
definitely
important.
Granted
when
we
were
youth
legislators,
it
was
all
remote,
so
the
youth
legislators
had
to
provide
written
testimonies.
A
Thank
you,
Miss
Haley,
meskel,
youth,
legislator,
Miller
I,
believe
you
have
a
question
for
Mr
Brook.
Please
proceed.
C
Great
question:
you've
LED
this
later
I
think
that
there
are
always
potential
pitfalls
that
you
can
try
to
avoid
again.
That
requires
knowing
knowing
your
audience
a
little
bit.
I
I,
think
if
you
know,
or
if
you're
able
to
see
that
a
a
legislator,
speaking
with
might
have
had
a
past
experience
or
something
that
was
notable.
That
could
be
a
touchy
subject.
C
Something
like
that
might
be
good
to
to
avoid
I
I
think
that
it
really
does
come
down
to
a
case-by-case
basis,
but
as
Senator
weiner
had
had
also
mentioned
in
her
remarks
earlier
as
well,
you
want
to
avoid
qualifying
language
or
anything
that
might
take
away
from
demonstrating
your
knowledge
of
the
issue
at
hand.
C
I
I
think
that
all
of
you
are
in
a
position
where
you
can
project
confidence
and
at
least
some
level
of
expertise
in
what
you're.
Speaking
about
with
those
legislators
and
I
I,
think
that
you
should
know
that
they
respect
your
input
in
and
your
perspectives
and
you
you
should
be
able
to
approach
them.
Knowing
that.
A
Thank
you,
Mr
Brook,
youthless,
youth,
legislator.
Wong.
Would
you
like
to
request
some
information
from
both
of
the
alumni
Mentor
trainers
joining
us
today.
D
Thank
You
Youth
legislator
for
that
question.
From
my
experience,
it's
okay
to
be
a
little
nervous.
It's
it
happens
when
you're
so
passionate
about
a
cause.
That's
so
important
as
this
one,
so
any
nervous
feelings
that
you
have
it's
completely
normal,
but
with
that
being
said,
you
also
trust
in
that
you
are
prepared.
You've
been
preparing
for
this
for
the
past
two
years
and
trust
yourself,
trust
each
other
and
Trust
the
process
as
well,
and
as
long
as
you
come
prepared,
come
ready
to
answer
questions.
D
You
will
be
completely
fine
and
I
I
mentioned
being
nervous,
because
I
remember
before
my
testimony
and
before
presenting
the
bill
on
Senate
committee
on
Judiciary,
I
called
Senator,
Weiner
and
I
was
like
I,
have
a
question
I'm
nervous
and
she
she
gave
me
some
words
of
affirmation
and
all
I
really
had
to
do-
was
trust
that
I'm
ready
trust
that
I
was
prepared
and
I
was
completely
fine.
So
you
all
are
passionate
about
ability,
because
it's
so
important.
So
it's
okay
to
be
nervous,
but
trust
that
you
are
prepared.
C
I
mean
I've
now
been
in
this
line
of
work
now
for
10
years
and
I
still
sometimes
get
nervous
when
I
have
to
give
public
remarks
or
appear
before
a
panel
and
I
I.
Think
the
moment
before
you
you
go
into
the
room.
Take
a
few
deep
breaths
remind
yourself
that
you
have
been
preparing
for
the
last
two
years.
You
know
your
stuff.
C
Everyone
sometimes
gets
a
little
flustered
if
they're
put
on
the
spot,
but
if
you
keep
your
cool
and
try
to
be
level-headed,
don't
get
angry.
If
someone
challenges,
you
show
again
your
base
of
knowledge
that
you've
been
building
for
the
last
two
years
to
really
back
you
up,
you'll
you'll,
be
in
a
good
position
and
I
I.
Don't
think
anyone
will
try
to
undermine
you
in
in
your
activities
when
you
come
before
the
the
actual
State
Legislature.
A
A
For
itinerary
item
number
four
I'd
like
to
welcome
Senator
Hammond,
assemblywoman,
Anderson
assembly,
woman,
gorillo,
an
assemblywoman
mosca
to
our
training.
Thank
you
for
serving
us
discussion
group
leaders.
We
will
break
into
discussion
groups
for
25
minutes
at
3
45.
We
will
ask
our
legislators
and
group
reporters
to
come
to
the
witness
table
to
to
provide
a
summary
of
their
discussions.
The
northern
youth
legislators
will
meet
with
assemblywoman
Anderson
in
the
audience
area.
The
southern
youth
legislators
will
meet
with
Senator
Hammond
in
room
4406,
assemblywoman
gorillo
in
room
440b
and
assemblywoman
mosca
in
Room
4401.
A
So
we
are
back
for
summaries
of
the
discussions.
Senator
Hammond
Please
join
your
group
reporter
at
the
witness
table
and
give
a
summary
of
discussion
questions
one
and
five.
Please.
J
A
K
Hello,
hello,
everybody!
Let
me
just
get
to
my
notes
here
for
the
second
and
the
fifth
question:
oh
gosh
can
I
borrow
someone's
sheet
that
has
the
actual
question
on
it.
K
It
was
a
pleasure
to
be
talking
to
youth
or
I
almost
said
youth
legislator,
assemblywoman
Anderson.
It
was
great
to
build
a
connection
with
you.
The
second
question
was
what
question
or
question
should
youth
legislators
be
asking
about
the
legislative
process
and
how
this
might
relate
to
or
affect
their
NYL
bill,
and
some
of
the
notes
I
took?
K
One
of
the
things
she
also
said
to
focus
on
was
learn
who's
passionate.
Through
these
conversations.
Those
people
will
be
your
Knights
and
shining
armor
a
little
bit.
Those
people
who
are
passionate
those
legislators
who
are
passionate
and
then
we
kind
of
focused
on
one
question,
that
assembly
Anderson,
asked
us
and
then
told
us
to
ask
our
legislators
of
like
who's
one
person
that
made
a
difference
in
your
life
and
really
like
made
you
passionate
and
really
inspired
you
to
go
on
this
journey.
Is
there
anything
you
want
to
add
I.
L
Just
have
to
say
that
youth
legislator,
Moss
just
made
me
sound
incredibly
intelligent,
I,
don't
believe
I
was
quite
that
articulate,
but
I
greatly
appreciate
the
passion,
because
it
is
about
making
those
connections
and
putting
a
face
and
name
to
the
issue,
not
just
the
issue
itself.
Well.
Very
well
said,
though,
with
your
notes.
Thank.
A
K
Thank
you.
The
fifth
question
was:
do
you
have
any
additional
insights
that
you
would
like
to
share
and
assemblywoman
Anderson
gave
us
advice
about
when
we
present
the
bill
on
the
15th?
One
thing
was:
T:
is
your
best
friend
don't
drink
coffee
beforehand,
you'll
be
jittery.
Some
of
these
always
bring
cough
drops
and
hand
sanitizer,
because
you'll
shake
a
lot
of
hands
at
those
meetings,
and
one
thing
that
I
thought
was
super
interesting
that
I
want
to
take
into
my
life
is:
don't
think
about
it.
K
The
night
before
try
to
turn
off
your
brain
for
two
to
three
hours.
Some
of
the
some
of
the
things
she
recommended
was
going
and
watching
a
movie
with
friends
or
family
distracting
yourself
a
little
bit
turning
your
brain
off
and
then
one
thing
she
told
us
all
to
do
is
that
no
legislator
can
accomplish
anything
alone.
They
have
their
amazing
assistance
and
did
you
say
Liaisons
attaches
that
really
help
them
get
the
job
done
and
to
treat
everyone
with
respect,
because
those
are
also
people
that
matter.
L
A
Thank
you
both
moving
back
to
the
South
Senator
weiner.
Please
join
your
group
reporter
at
the
witness
table
and
Tina
what
questions
would
you
like
them
to
do.
M
Hi
this
is
youth
legislator,
makababad,
for
the
record
and
question
four
was:
is
there
anything
specific
that
youth
legislators
should
avoid
when
conversing
with
legislators
and
basically
what
Senator
weiner
told
us
was
to
not
talk
more
than
listening
and
to
be
comfortable
in
your
role
and
be
humble
in
the
experience
it's
better
to
be
a
bigger
listener
than
a
talker,
because
it's
important
to
let
people
know
that
you
value
them
by
showing
them
that
you
listen
and
authenticity
is
really
important,
because
that's
where
you
can
build
trust,
you
have
anything
else,
you'd
like
to
add
okay
and
for
question
five.
M
It's
do
you
have
any
additional
insights
you
would
like
to
share,
and
so
what
I
took
away
from
this
was
that
it's
important
to
be
open
and
willing
to
engage
the
lessons
that
you
have
learned
in
your
experience
and
exercise
them
in
your
present.
Positive
affirmations
are
really
important
as
well,
and
you
should
designate
like
at
least
three
words
to
Define
how
you
go
about
your
day
and
for
Senator
weiner.
It
was
curiosity,
joy
and
gratitude.
M
B
Wow
captured
at
all,
if
I
may
add
piggyback
a
little
bit,
something
that
was
shared
just
prior
to
our
being
at
the
table.
I
loved,
the
idea
of
the
passion
and
and
the
integrity
and
the
authenticity
I
would,
if
I
may
add
to
that
that
this
is
part
of
a
lesson
that
I
teach
and
I
live.
If
I
may
suggest,
passion
purpose
intention,
those
all
need
to
be
aligned,
whatever
you're
doing
passion,
purpose
and
intention
with
those
in
alignment.
B
B
B
A
I
Youth
legislator,
Wong
for
the
record
first
of
all,
I
just
want
to
say
we
were
all
very
grateful
to
have
the
opportunity
to
speak
with
Assembly
women
mosca
today.
I
think
she
provided
a
lot
of
great
insight
and
how
we
can
maximize
our
outcomes
for
this
NYL
bill,
and
the
first
question
was:
how
should
youth
legislators
prepare
themselves
to
advocate
for
the
NYL
so
first
she
said
that
it
the
more
the
more
prepared
you
are
the
better,
and
that
entails
understanding
what
problem
you
are
trying
to
solve.
I
What
committee
the
bill
is
in
who
is
opposed
and
who
supports
this
bill
and
reach
out
to
any
members
that
you
can
of.
The
committee
also
have
a
personal
story
as
well
as
facts
to
try
to
back
up
your
bill,
because
not
all
legislators
are
the
same,
so
be
sure
to
prepare
for
any
audience
that
you
might
have,
as
well
as
communicating
with
the
chair
of
the
committee
that
will
be
hearing
your
bill.
Is
there
anything
else,
you'd
like
to
add
no.
J
I
I
Only
with
your
fellow
youth
legislators,
but
also
with
the
people
that
you
are
representing,
such
as
your
senators
and
assembly
members
reaching
out
right
now
and
being
pro
proactive,
is
very
important
because
now
is
a
really
good
opportunity
for
that,
and
is
there
anything
else
you'd
like
to
add
there?
Okay
and
then
our
fifth
question
was:
do
you
have
any
additional
insights
that
you
would
like
to
share?
This
was
very
insightful
for
me
because
she
said
as
youth
legislators.
I
Our
voice
is
very
powerful
because
we
offer
A
New
Perspective
with
a
very
pure
intention
where
others
might
have
other
motives,
and
we
should
not
be
afraid
to
reach
out
to
legislators
through
the
other
platforms,
such
as
social
media,
and
it
is
important
to
take
notes
and
show
interest
and
show
that
you
really
care
and
follow
up
with
people,
and
it
shows
that
you're
engaged
with
the
conversation
that
you
were
in
as
well
as
the
issues
that
you
were
trying
to
advocate
for
as
well
as
understanding
that
you
represent
more
than
yourself
as
a
legislator.
N
Thank
you
so
much.
That
was
a
great
summary.
I
really
appreciated
my
group
and
that
they
were
taking
notes
and
I
just
want
to
remind
everyone,
just
how
amazing
you
all
are
and
that
you
really
should
use
your
voice,
because
when
we
hear
from
youth
it
just
makes
such
a
difference
and
we're
really
so
proud
of
you
and
can't
wait
to
see
you
up
in
the
session.
Thank
you
for
having
me
today.
A
Thank
you
both
for
those
words
and
I'd
like
to
thank
all
the
legislators
for
scheduling
your
days
to
spend
time
with
us.
I
appreciate
that
we
appreciate
your
words
of
wisdom
about
how
to
maximize
outcomes
for
the
NYL
bill.
A
The
next
order
of
business
is
item
five,
which
is
a
preview
of
upcoming
Nevada
youth
legislature,
activities
meetings
and
trainings
in
October.
We
receive
training
regarding
public
testimony,
our
public
testimony
reports
are
due
on
or
before
February
4th.
In
of
this
year.
We
are
also
highly
encouraged
to
provide
written
testimony
supporting
the
NYL
bill.
We
can
find
tips
for
writing
our
supportive
testimony
in
our
meeting.
Folders
We
need
to
send
these
written
comments
to
Senator
weiner,
our
district
legislators
and
Tina
Ashdown
on
or
before
March
4th
of
this
year.
A
A
B
We've
included
this
portion
of
each
meet
training
at
the
end
of
each
training,
and
it's
particularly
important
today,
because
we've
had
a
very
comprehensive
day
you've
through
the
meeting
you've
finalized
and
approved
the
language
of
the
NYL
Bill.
You've
learned
about
advocacy,
you've
been
able
to
exercise
questions
and
have
responses
for
people
who've
done
it
for
a
while.
Well
me
and
assemblywoman
mosca
coming
into
her
first
session
and
so
I'm
opening,
yes
and
I'm.
Sorry
and
yes
and
assembly,
woman
Anderson,
providing
extraordinary
input
and
insights
in
the
north
too.
B
Thank
you,
so
I'm
going
to
open
this
up,
but
I
want
to
say
something
to
the
questions
or
discussion
that
you
might
want
to
have
for
today
or
any
time
up
to
today
or
going
forward.
But
what
I
want
to
do
and
not
be
remiss
in
offering
this
throughout
the
program?
Your
entire
term
we've
involved
alumni,
Mentor
trainers.
These
are
youth
legislators,
who've
stepped
beyond
the
program
because
they're
so
passionate
about
it
to
help
future
youth
legislators,
as
you
heard,
from
a
newer
Alum,
a
former
chair,
Haley
mascale
and
Ken
Brooke
10
years.
B
So
you
get
a
different
perspective
from
each
based
on
their
time,
since
they
were
in
the
program
and
they're
still
just
as
passionate
about
being
engaged
in
the
alumni
Mentor
trainer
role,
and
so
we
are
typically
the
this
and
I'll.
Do
it
again
at
the
legislature
as
you
process
it
if
anyone
north
south,
if
you're
interested
in
continuing
your
role
with
the
NYL
in
a
different
capacity
as
a
mentor
trainer.
B
B
They
bring
such
an
extraordinary
Rich
perspective
on
how
it
looks
beyond
this
moment
where
what
you
learn
comes
into
play
for
the
rest
of
your
lives,
and
it's
it.
It
just
is
such
an
essential
component
of
the
work
we
do
and,
of
course,
if
we
have
same
day,
trainings
or
full
day
trainings,
we
have
alumni
Mentor
trainers
who
join
us
for
the
entire
full
day.
Experience
and
you've
met
some
of
them.
B
Mr
okuta
Lam
participates
at
high
level
because
he's
also
on
our
board
the
NYL
board
and
so
and
Emily
Espinoza
is
also
and
she's
an
Alum
from
the
north.
So
that
is
one
invitation
also
at
this
time
and
I
will
offer
it
again,
so
you
can
think
about
it.
An
invitation
that
I
will
also
present
at
Art
legislature,
experience
allegedly
of
experience
on
March,
15th
and
you've
heard
it
references
to
it
throughout
your
time.
B
Here,
I
offer
myself
as
a
mentor
for
any
of
you
who
would
like
to
have
a
mentor
beyond
the
program.
I
don't
offer
it
during
the
program,
but
I
offer
it
as
you
exit
anyone
who
would
like
to
develop
a
relationship
with
me.
Beyond
I
am
more
than
happy
to
Mentor
you
because
of
what
we've
grown
together
during
these
two
years,
I'd
like
to
support
you
as
you
continue
beyond
the
program
and
I'm
available.
So
let
me
know
if
you're
interested
in
that
too.
So
that's
the
beyond
the
program.
B
Let's
talk
about
anything
you
would
like
to
discuss
based
on
today
or
anything
up
to
this
point.
We
will
also,
by
the
way,
as
we
do
every
year,
have
a
zoom
to
review
the
year
and
the
highlights
and
what
you
got
out
of
it.
What
we
could
make
better.
We
are
very,
very
committed
to
engaging
your
comments
to
grow
a
better
program.
Your
input
is
essential.
We
take
it
very
seriously
and
utilize
the
input
that
you
provide
to
grow
a
better
program,
so
your
voice
is
not
only
important
in
your
own
District.
B
It's
also
important
in
growing
a
richer,
a
a
higher
level
program
based
on
what
you've
experienced
you'd,
be
surprised.
How
much
of
the
the
refinement
of
this
program
has
come
from
the
youth
legislators
themselves
and
their
suggestions,
because
you're
living
it
from
a
perspective
that
we
can't
we
teach
it,
but
we're
not
living
it.
The
way
you
are-
and
you
are
very
rich
resources
for
growing
this
program,
so
anything
I've
talked
it's
your
turn.
Anybody
thoughts,
input
Reflections.
Yes,
please.
H
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you,
because
I
feel
like
through
the
program
I've
grown
a
lot
in
public
speaking
and
in
confidence
to
approach,
legislators
and
attempt
to
advocate,
for
my
bill
and
I
recommended
the
program
to
a
lot
of
friends
at
school
and
I've
really
appreciated
how
this
program
helped
me
grow.
Thank.
B
You
and
if
I
may,
piggyback
that
we
are
in
the
recruitment
stage
for
youth
legislators
for
this,
for
appointment
for
the
next
two
years,
so
you
did
your
Outreach
recruitment
letter
or,
however,
that
showed
up
for
you.
Please
help
us
move
to
the
next
step
of
getting
young
people
in
who
might
be
interested.
You
are
the
apps
no
question.
You
are
the
very
best
voices
for
the
program
to
help
us
find
others
who
might
be
interested
in
participating
in
the
next
two
years,
so
you're
the
boots
to
the
ground,
communicators
and
and
recruiters
first.
B
O
O
But
I
am
grateful
for
the
experience
and
I
encourage
others
in
my
school
to
do
the
same,
even
though,
for
example,
my
future
career
or
like
future
goals,
don't
necessarily
lie
within
the
legislature
or
any
like
government
type
or
any
government
body,
but
I
think
that's
a
good
experience
for
like
public
speaking.
Anything
like
that.
So
I
just
wanted
to.
Thank
you
again
as
well.
B
And
if
I
make
a
add
to
that
from
the
very
big
throughout
what
you
have
not
heard
from
us,
anyone
involved
in
this
program,
and
there
are
many
who
ensured
that
it
delivers
the
highest
level
of
program
and
service
to
each
of
you
and
seamless
opportunities
for
you.
The
word
that
does
not
show
up
in
the
entire
two
years
is
politics.
B
We
teach
the
the
the
the
the
the
richness
of
policy
making
of
service
of
advocacy
of
all
those
big
things
that
we've
been
teaching
you
for
two
years
or
it
will
be
by
the
time.
You're
done
with
your
terms.
This
is
all
about
skills
that
you
can
take
anywhere
on
your
Life
Path.
So
it's
not
about
running
for
office.
We
don't
teach
that
it's
not
about
anything
specific
to
a
governmental
entity.
B
Thank
you.
Yes,
keen
and
they'll
do
rock
above
it.
G
Yeah
so
I've
been
I've,
really
I've
been
enjoying
like
talking
to
the
assembly,
women,
men
and
especially
like
the
meet
and
greet
last
week
where
we
got
to
talk
to
the
legislators,
I'm
just
very
grateful
that
I'm
able
to
talk
with
these
adult
students
know
so
much
about
their
field
and
I.
Don't
know
if
you
remember
when
you
said
this,
but
I
have
a
lot
of
gratitude
over
that,
but
yeah.
Thank.
B
You
that
gratitude
is
the
umbrella
of
my
life.
That's
everything
falls
under
the
Gratitude.
I
have
a
thing
about,
starting
my
day
with
that
and
ending
my
day
with
that,
because
when
I
embrace
the
idea
of
gratitude
from
my
fir
first
opening
my
eyes
for
what
I'm
grateful
for
and
I'm,
not
always
redundant
new
things
show
up
every
morning,
then
that's
what
I'm
looking
for
to
experience
the
rest
of
the
day,
I'm
poised
to
experience
more
opportunities
for
gratitude.
It
doesn't
mean
other
things,
don't
show
up.
B
M
It's
already
nearing
the
end
of
two
years
and
from
this
program,
I've
learned
social
skills
and
eloquence
and
gratitude
like
we've,
been
talking
about
and
I
think
one
of
the
most
important
things,
as
you
mentioned
for
the
past
few
trainings,
was
to
really
listen
to
others,
because
that's
how
you're
going
to
know
what
the
people
need
for
the
legislature
so
and
yeah
I'm
very
thankful
for
this
program
as
well.
Thank.
K
K
Like
youth
legislator
said
before,
I
am
very
grateful
for
the
program
it
has
done
so
much
for
me
and
I
hope
to
give
back
to
it
in
the
future,
and
one
quote
that
comes
to
mind
right
now
is
one
of
your
Senator
weiner.
It's
be
open
to
the
bigness
and
greatness
of
the
future
and
I.
K
Remember
that
right
now,
because
you
know,
as
we
move
on
from
this
chapter
of
Our
Lives,
we
have
to
be
open
to
the
bigness
and
greatness
of
the
future,
and
it's
scary,
but
that's
okay
and
I
think
the
work
is
there's.
Definitely
some
work
ahead
for
us
to
do,
but
that
quote
just
sticks
to
my
mind,
for
this
program
may.
B
F
B
B
When
we
save
ourselves
for
just
the
big
stuff,
we
miss
all
of
the
other
opportunities
along
the
way.
So
it's
all
big,
because
even
the
smallest
Pebbles
can
make
a
big
Ripple
in
a
pond
and
so
all
those
possibilities
potential
the
power
all
the
words
you
want
to
use
in
the
now
and
Beyond,
because
the
the
next,
what
is
beyond
right
now
becomes
the
next
now,
doesn't
it
the
next
so,
but
what
we
have
to
work
with,
what
we
have
to
work
with
is
the
now
of
our
lives.
E
Youth
legislator,
Greenstein
I,
also
just
want
to
piggyback
on
that
talking
about
being
grateful
for
now
and
maybe
even
being
grateful
for
the
past,
I
mean
I.
Think
it's
amazing
that
we
can
all
live
in
a
state
like
Nevada,
where
the
Nevada
youth
legislature
is
unique
nationally
and
maybe
even
internationally.
E
A
few
weeks
ago,
a
few
of
the
legislator,
youth
legislators
from
the
North
had
the
opportunity
to
meet
with
some
Serbian
legislators
and
they
were
shocked
by
like
how
comprehensive
this
program
is
and
how
we
have
the
authority
to
introduce
a
bdr
ourselves,
whereas
that's
not
really
something
that's
available
to
youth
anywhere
else
in
the
world.
So
I
feel
really
grateful
for
the
the
current
and
I
also
feel
great
for
for
the
past
and
for
having
this
opportunity
available.
For
me.
B
Anybody
else
anything
anything
you
want
to
share.
Well
again,
the
invitation
is
there
anything
that's
maybe
be
more
focused
on
on
today.
Is
there
anything
else.
You'd
want
to
know
about
advocacy
again
the
the
part
about
written
testimony
as
I
stress
the
well
again,
there's
kind
of
the
job,
as
you
heard,
about
the
three
qualities
that
are
my
drivers,
the
Curiosity,
the
joy
and
the
gratitude
for
that
opportunity
to
submit
written
testimony
Tina.
B
If
that's
okay
with
you,
if
you'd
send
out,
maybe
some
thoughts
about
you
know
deadlines,
and
what
might
we
can
work
on
what
they
might
focus
on
on
that
we'll
prepare
something
to
send
out
to
you.
This
is
a
great
opportunity
to
continue
engaging
with
your
distinctive
voice
in
the
legislative
process.
B
B
B
J
B
B
We
are
monitoring
this
right
up
to
the
submission
of
your
report
as
to
who
is
still
in
good
standing
for
us
to
to
fly
you
up
to
Carson
City,
because
that's
your
last
required
activity
is
submitting
your
get
emotional,
submitting
your
report
on
your
public
testimony,
so
I
believe
I'm,
complete
Mr,
chair
I'm
grateful
for
each
one
of
you
and
all
the
ways
you
have
touched.
