Addison Hobbs is a Senior delegate from First Baptist Christian Academy. This is her third year, and she has made the state twice and the county court once. I had asked her several questions about her time being here over the years. One question I had asked her was if she had any advice for future delegates participating. She had this to say for future delegates, “No one remembers when you mess up. Just have fun and try not to stress too much.” Another question I asked her was her favorite memory from participating in Texas Youth and Government. She says her favorite memory was, “When one of my team members flushed another member’s AirPod down the toilet.” I also asked if she thought Texas Youth and Government had helped her become the person she is today, and she said, “Yes, it has made me a lot more open and confident.” She also told us what each of her roles were throughout the year. In her first year, she was an attorney for plaintiffs and a witness for the defense. In her second year, she said she was an attorney (easily the most challenging role she had ever had) and a witness for the prosecution. And at last this year, she is a prosecution attorney number one. Her favorite role, she said, was being a witness for defense in her second year. She said she had so much fun and made so many memories here at Texas Youth and Government that she is so excited for next year and will try to become an evaluator for the future delegates of Texas Youth and Government. She said it was one of the best experiences she had ever had, and she hoped everyone else had just as much fun as she did.
