Becoming An Adult Research Paper

According to the book, a government is a public institution with authority to formulate, adopt, implement, and enforce public policies for a society (book). Since I am included in the society, the government has a great influence on my daily life. Even though I am not a U.S. citizen, the U.S. government still affects me directly because I live on U.S territory. The government that affects me and my family the most is not the White House or the Congress, it is the local government; Counties, municipalities, school districts, and other special districts that provide a range of services, including rural roads, city streets, public education, and protection of persons and property (book). Local government is responsible

Many people ask me what are my plans after high school? Luckily, I have come to the decision to be in the military and attend a postsecondary education and major in Nursing with the intention of becoming a Pediatrician or becoming an Architect.

The federal government shouldn’t telling us how to live our lives. The government is prohibiting us to text and drive, talk and drive, smoke around children. We as citizens need to learn to resolve these matters with guidelines not demands. We will never grow as a society if the government continues to put restrictions on our every movement. If one person makes an error and all of sudden there is law to make sure their error never happens again, we will have so many laws we will become puppets to the government. The way the laws are influencing our lives may cause this domino effect.

Everyone knows there's a lot of responsibility that comes with being a first generation student that plans to go and get a college education/degree whose family comes from a foreign country. People do not understand why I feel I have so much of a responsibility on my shoulders. However I now understand why there is so much responsibility that comes with being a first generation student that plans to go and get a college education/degree with family from a foreign country, thanks to my grandmother’s wise words. She said “ being a first generation student that plans to go and get a college education/degree with family from a foreign country isn’t about your success, it's about the success you bring to the family name, the pride you bring to the family/country and moreover the success you bring will represent your parents hard work has truly paid off”, at the time she said this I was only 12 years old so I didn't quite understand what she meant but it has stuck in my mind ever since. Now that I’m more mature I understand what she meant. I believe that my success or failure is no longer just benefiting or hurting me, if I fail that means I fail my family and my people and that is why going to college is so important to me. In this paper I’m going to write about what high standards mean to me, my goals, activities I’m involved in

College is a chance to further the education of most teens and adults in the modern world. Many people have the choice to enter college after high school or go later in their lives. Both of my parents made separate choices but both turned out to be very successful in their lives. College is a really tough decisions that could be beneficial in most cases because you do happen to get paid more money with a college degree. My mom chose to go to high school to continue her education in the medical field and it eventually paid off, getting out of student loans and having a lot of money to get the needs and wants of my family. My father chose to use his skills and the trades he learned to work and make money to support him and my mom, and he still continues to work using the trades he learned growing up. Both had different opinions on college and made their decisions according to the way they have been raised and their environment. Everyone’s environment and ideas is one of the largest influences in going to college because they shape every decision that you have ever made and really effect your future. My decision had been made to go to college to make my future much better

There are multiple steps that I must take in my life so that I am able to be a successful person after high school. In addition, I will also use all the tools and tricks my parents have taught me my whole entire life. I feel that my parents have helped me prepare greatly and I will be perfectly good for what my upcoming future holds for me. I will explain how I make correct decisions on what houses, cars, the way I pay bills with either a credit card or cash in hand, and with lots more to come which you will have to wait and see what it is.

Whether we are male, female, white, black, republican or democrat, the government will weave its way into the life of the citizen. Today, the government is beginning to grow exponentially, and are now able to control our basic rights and freedoms, it can even regulate what we eat. These rights go from what size of soda we drink to whether we can eat fatty foods. The government should remain out of what citizens can eat because it limits our choices and freedoms and will put many businesses out of business.

This writing challenge is kind of impossible, how can a 16 year old me reading this? But, a challenge is a challenge, so here it is:

In 8th grade, I was told I would be moving to a new country, so my parents could start their new careers of being missionaries. At first, I was so happy and excited for this new adventure. However, after I entered high school I did not want to leave, I wanted to be involved with my school and in activities. The decision my parents made really affected my life, I became very angry with them and started to do things I normally wouldn’t do, like self-harm. Before entering my junior year of high school my family and I moved to Costa Rica. Instead of being angry and having self-pity, I decided to be optimistic and think of the experience as a grand adventure that no one else gets encounter. I left my friends and family and the life I’ve known since

The transition into college can be a defining moment in a person’s life. They have opportunities to work hard and be successful and also opportunities to slack off and be disappointed. I feel confident in my ability to transition smoothly into college life. Many parts of my high school career, both at school and away from school have prepared me for what is ahead in my life.

Ready or not, we all go through numerous transitions in our lives whether it’s leaving high school to go to college or work, changing jobs, getting married, or having children. These transitions can take weeks, months, and years; depending on the awkward emotional spaces where we have cut ties with what we know, and also have not settled into what is new.

The most significant challenges I may face when transitioning from high school to college are time management, workload amount, and responsibility. Since elementary school to high school, we are given school days with a given structure on our schedule. Once we transition to college, our schedule changes with more flexibility and freedom to decide what our time will consist of. This may be a challenge because it’s a drastic change I must adapt to. I will ensure that I am effectively managing my time to align my classes with other obligations. I will use any time gaps efficiently in the form of studying and preparing for upcoming classes. Another challenge I may face when making that transition to college is the academic workload. In college,

It seems that today's day and age education is everything. From the time you enter elementary school they tell you “college is important,” and you are pressured about “what do you want to be when you grow up?” Entering high school it really hits home. There are college visits, applications, due dates, and many other college preps to do before you even graduate. Now, I have always been one to enjoy school and try to learn something new every day, but it became my only chance when I was medically discharged from the US Army almost a year ago.

As of right now I am writing to you where you will one day be sitting. I hope that my first born is a boy named Elliott, but if you have a different name or you are a girl i still will love you the same. I am seventeen and at the end of my senior year. I hope that when you are a senior you like school so much more than i do. I am not the biggest fan of school, but I never have been. I hope that when you are in school there is no dress code. The biggest fight every student has with authority here is about the dress code. Jackson County's dress code in 2017 is a bit ridiculous. You can not wear shorts, tank tops, and basically the color white without getting sent to iss (in school suspension).

In our society, there is things that can improve to better everyone as a whole. As Thoreau wrote “government is best which governs not at all” he is showing the people would prosper and improve to its maximum potential if the government let the people make decisions instead of some select few (Civil Disobedience 117). As a teenager of society, I have seen some decisions that the government has made. From my perspective I see the effect it has on my parents and me instead of actually having a say so in the matter. The government has made countless errors in the area of taking my generation's rights away, and restricting the freedom that this country was built on. The way I see it is that if the government was not a regulator, more of a protector,
