2. MY MOTIVATION
VOTING
TOO MANY PEOPLE ARE
COMPLAINING ABOUT WHO WAS
ELECTED EACH YEAR, BUT NOT
EVERYONE STANDS UP TO VOICE
THEIR OPINION. I BELIEVE IF ITS MY
RIGHT, AND MY WAY TO MAKE A
DIFFERENCE, I WILL TAKE IT.
CHANGE
I WANT TO FIND A WAY FOR MORE OF
THE HOMELESS TO RECEIVE HELP. I SEE
MANY PEOPLE SLEEPING UNDER
BRIDGES AND IN THE FIELDS, OR NEAR
THE STREETS. I DON’T THINK THAT
MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE CHOOSE TO
LIVE THIS WAY, I THINK THEY NEED A
STEPPING STONE TO MAKE A TURN IN
THEIR LIVES. I KNOW TO GET PUBLIC
ASSISTANCE YOU HAVE TO HAVE AN
ADDRESS AND THEY DON’T, WHICH
MEANS THEY GO HUNGRY, AND
WITHOUT HEALTH, SHOWERS AND
HYGIENE PRODUCTS.
NO CHANGE
I LIKE HOW SCHOLARSHIPS ARE
AWARDED TO STUDENTS WHO HAVE A
GOOD GPA, AND THE FINANCIAL AID
SYSTEM GRANTED BY THE
GOVERNMENT. THE GRANTS ARE A
GREAT SOURCE, AND WITHOUT THEM I
WOULD NOT HAVE MADE IT THIS FAR,
ALTHOUGH I BELIEVE THAT IT CAN USE
SOME IMPROVEMENTS ON THE
MINIMUM INCOME, BECAUSE IF YOUR
PARENTS ARE LEGALLY MARRIED YOU
HAVE TO PROVIDE BOTH INCOMES
EVEN IF THEY ARE SEPARATED.

3. THINGS I LEARNED
I LEARNED MORE ABOUT THE CONSTITUTION AND WHAT IT ENTAILS, IN HIGH SCHOOL
WE DIDN’T GO IN DEPTH ABOUT IT.
I DIDN’T KNOW THAT ONE BRANCH OF THE LEGISLATION COULDN’T OPERATE
WITHOUT THE COOPERATION OF THE OTHER BRANCHES, I THOUGHT THEY WERE ALL
ON THEIR OWN.
I CAME INTO THIS CLASS WITH AN OPEN MIND, AND HAVEN’T ATTENDED HIGH
SCHOOL IN OVER 10 YEARS. SINCE GOVERNMENT NEVER SPARKED MY INTEREST IN MY
YOUNGER DAYS THEN ALMOST EVERYTHING THAT I LEARNED WAS NEW. I DIDN’T
KNOW THE MANY STEPS OF AN ELECTION OR PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN. I DIDN’T
KNOW MUCH ABOUT WHICH PRESIDENT WAS ASSASSINATED, AND WHO WAS
CONSIDERED THE BEST.

4. “
”
BAD OFFICIALS ARE ELECTED BY GOOD
CITIZENS WHO DON’T VOTE.
-GEORGE JEAN NATHAN
I WOULD ADVISE THE NEXT GENERATION TO JUST LEARN ABOUT THE
GOVERNMENT AND GET OUT THERE AND VOTE. EVERYTHING WE DO IN THIS
WORLD IS OPERATED UNDER THE GOVERNMENT, SO WHY NOT HAVE A SAY SO ON
WHO SAYS SO?

5. THIRTEENTH
AMENDMENT
ABOLISHED SLAVERY
PROVIDES “NEITHER
SLAVERYNORINVOLUNTARY
SERVITUDE, EXCEPT AS A
PUNISHMENT FOR A CRIME.
I CHOSE THIS BECAUSE I FEEL
LIKE NO ONE SHOULD BE
MISTREATED JUST BECAUSE THE
COLOR OF THEIR SKIN.
EVERYONE SHOULD BE EQUAL

6. SOMETHING THAT I LEARNED FROM THIS COURSE
THAT I PLAN TO KEEP WITH ME IS THE DEBATE ON
THE FIRST AMENDMENT. ALTHOUGH WE HAVE A
FREEDOM OF SPEECH, AND THE RIGHT TO EXPRESS
HOW WE FEEL ABOUT CERTAIN SITUATIONS AND
PEOPLE, THOSE PEOPLE ALSO HAVE A RIGHT TO
FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH WHOM THEY ARE.
ALTHOUGH, I DON’T SPEAK BADLY ABOUT
INDIVIDUALS BECAUSE OF THEIR IDENTITY, I THINK
HAVING THIS ARGUMENT IN THE BACK OF MY
HEAD WILL HELP OTHERS THAT I COME IN
CONTACT WITH TO BETTER UNDERSTAND.
