Fun fact: Rick had once memorized the formula to solve a Rubik's Cube in under a minute during the COVID pandemic, but has since lost the ability to do so. 

Quote about NCSL: 

“The North Carolina Student Legislature gave me hope that a generation of politically engaged students can achieve real change. Each delegate brings their perspective on how society should be, and through rigorous debate, these students don't just talk—they clarify what they truly believe and map out actionable steps to solve pressing issues and create a better future”
