Glenridge student Scores interview with Senator Marco Rubio
6th grader Mitchell R. had a rare opportunity to interview Florida Senator Marco Rubio. Senator Rubio told Mitchell that if kids get informed now about what is going on in our country, we will begin to care more about our community and country. Marco Rubio got a scholarship to play football in college. He was excited then he got injured and could not play. He realized he had to get over the fact that he was hurt and had to pursue another interest. He turned a bad thing into a positive. He was involved in Boy Scouts and sports growing up, but he told Mitchell that he wished his school had a debate club and that he was more involved in Middle School clubs. Mitchell asked the Senator about the new Civics exams that kids have to take in Florida. Marco Rubio thought they are very important because the more kids know about how government works, the more they will get involved as they grow up.
