Education, Family, and Fun.

I actively pursue my education and am determined to achieve my goals and ambitions, as far as medical school and beyond; as well as I keep a good family environment and I have started training to compete in basketball and football leagues two sports I enjoy and excel at.

I am most important to me because I am the only one that can take control of my future and get me to were I want to be. However my family is also very important to me followed by close friends, because no one can ever have to much support.

The most important rights guaranteed in the first ten amendments to the Constitution is the amendment. The first amendment is the most important, because it gives American citizens the basis for the “American Way” of freedom’s to believe what you want; to say what you want; for the press to publish anything ( even the gritty truth); as well as the freedom’s to assemble and to petition. However all of these rights are only extended as long as you do not interfere with someone else’s right.

We can no longer go to war but try and solve things more diplomatically.

We can become more open minded as a society and stop discrimination in all forms.

We need to address everyone's needs in order to help with homelessness, famine, and hunger.

We can try and become more economically stable and develop more program‘s that help deal with poverty and helping families get out of it.

We need to be more environmentally conscious and reduce, reuse and recycle everything.

We also need to help curb sickness by donating blood, getting on an organ and tissue donor list, and make more educated decisions about our mental and physical health.

If I Ran For President

I feel that the United States needs to be reestablished as the great world power that it is. By first, stabilizing our currency and getting the worth back into the American dollar. Then I would definitely try and help stabilize the workforce and create more jobs for American’s. While trying to limit the amount of outsourcing that companies do.

If I Ran For President

Citizenship in a democracy requires participation, civility, and even patience.

Democratic citizens recognize that they not only have rights, they have responsibilities. They recognize that democracy requires an investment of time and hard work.

Civic participation means that citizens are required to serve on juries, or give mandatory military or civilian national service for a period of time. Other obligations apply to all democracies and are the sole responsibility of the citizen – chief among these is respect for law. Paying one's fair share of taxes, accepting the authority of the elected government, and respecting the rights of those with differing points of view are also examples of citizen responsibility.

My Future!

In the next 5 years I hope to be starting my first year of med school and moved out on my own. In order for me to accomplish that I will have to work very hard, and be committed to furthering and bettering myself. I also will need to definitely get some scholarships and grants and a job and try and get some financial aid.

My Future!
