Dear administrators, teachers, parents, beloved friends, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 8th grade graduation. It’s a pleasure to be standing in front of you today on this beautiful day to express the happiness we all feel.

At the beginning of the semester, our group spoke with the client to develop several goals that they wanted our group to achieve throughout this semester. After speaking to the Vice Chairman John Wood (2016), one of the main tasks that he wanted our group to assist the club with accomplishing was to use the election to boost engagement within the club for both club meeting attendance and also visibility on social media. Since the media was covering he election for a large part of the day, Wood discussed the idea that since the media is covering the election for a large part of the day, politics is on the mind of people more now than it would be during midterm elections. By using the fact that the election is top of mind for many individuals at Liberty, the club wanted to take advantage of this season and also gain members. The last goal that the club wanted to accomplish was to increase voter registration and voter turnout on Election Day.

On November 9th 2015, a town hall meeting took place in my political science class. This meeting was a chance for students of the school to bring up concerns, or issues regarding there education. For their voice to be heard directly to the faculty that runs the school, the students could finally have a chance to get a valid answer. There was questions about safety, mathematics, community college education, and typical student issues.

We have come a long way from a time when only white, affluent, property owning males could vote. In terms of ‘voting rights’ it was a gradual expansion of the vote, which slowly began to expand to all whites, individuals once labeled slaves or ‘aliens’, African Americans, military personal and women. To vote in the United States, no longer do you need to pass a literacy test, but you must be a U.S citizen and at least 18 years old on Election Day. In addition, some states also require various periods of residency before voting is permitted. Furthermore some states restrict felons or those mentally incompetent to vote. In Massachusetts, for the first time, there was Early Voting. During this period, October 24th to November 4th, registered voters were allowed to cast their ballots. During this period of Early voting, I along with a group of classmates had the engaging opportunity to be an exit pollster. We decided to canvas much of the Boston area, with hopes of a ranging demographic. This hands-on experience, working with a team in carrying out the exit poll, allowed for a greater insight to the dynamics of election administration, a deeper understanding on the rights of voters and voter turn out, technique for attaining a random sample, the role of the interviewer and importance of survey design.

perform a situation analysis that pays special attention to voter attitudes about politics and politicians.

With the assistance of several of the eight students in the class, who range in age from 17-22, the Holmes County commissioners were introduced to the class and the role its students play in the school and community.

Students will read Franklin Roosevelt’s March 9, 1937 Fireside chat about recognizing the Supreme Court. While they are reading the document they will have a task that must be completed. One person in their group of two must do research on the document, while the other illustrates what is being read. Each person in the group will complete a summarization of the document. Once they have completed these task they can then start creating their wordle. The assessment provides an essential connection with the national and state standards because by the end of the lesson students will be able to apply the content, because the students will have studied and analyzed excerpts from FDR's 1936 fireside chat about changing the Supreme Court. In all, the

However, during my first two years in high school, I realized that there was an aspect of my academic experience that needed attention. As a member of Class Council, I was disappointed by the lack of diversity in the attendance of the meetings. Each week, a dozen or so of the same students arrived and made decisions that affected the entire student body. If there was one thing I learned during my high school career, it was that diversity is necessary for success. Eager to implement change, I decided that the spring election at the end of my sophomore year was a great

With the current presidential elections approaching soon, there is plenty of political activity going on in our communities. Many people follow the presidential elections and listen to what these candidates have to say, however, there are other elections going on in our own communities that also have a big impact on us. We sometimes tend to forget about our local candidates and at times ignore what they have to offer for us. I, myself, am able to relate to this. I decided to take action and go out to a local community to do voter registration with the hope that people would not only register, but also go out on November 8 and vote.

Jane’s shift at the polling place was finished. She looked down in dismay at the large pile of undistributed “I Voted” stickers. Jane wondered how many people chose to stay home today, rather than cast their vote. Throughout her life, she was taught the importance of voting. It was what supported the ideals of our nation. America exists as a Democracy, meaning the government is run by the power of the people. Citizens are given the opportunity to say whom they want to run the country, by the simple task of showing up on election day, and marking their choice. However, it was evident as she was putting the unused stickers into the box that many people deviate from this civic duty.

Voter turnout, as well as election results, depend upon and are effected by several different factors. Everything from family status to beliefs about abortion can determine how a person will vote. In my presentation, however, I focused on three aspects that effect voter turnout and elections. I found, in my research, that a voter's age, sex and party identification greatly factor into how a person will cast his or her vote.

As a group, we decided that first, we needed to know what the senior homerooms were. Once we did, copies of the registration form needed to be made, and then finally go to the homerooms during the block periods. My individual role was to find out the senior homerooms and participate in going to the homerooms. In order to get the senior homerooms, I went to the guidance counselor, Ms. Slater, and asked for a list of the senior homerooms in which was printed out and shared with my other group members. After the homerooms were split up with the members of our group, we went to homerooms and talked to the seniors. The homerooms I had gone to where Ms. Amentas, Ms. Amorosino, Mr. DeBiase, Mrs. Morello, and Mrs. Vallera; in which each of these were a success. When we entered the homerooms, we first discussed with the advisors of what we were going to talk about and then gave us permission to speak. What we had said to the students were “ Hello, we are here to try and get more voters to register. The voting turnout rate in Connecticut is very low, therefore we are trying to convince people to vote more” After we had said it, we then asked who wanted a registration form. Most wanted a form and filled it out that very moment or filled it out later, however, some simply did not want one either because they did not care or already

Although many peoples’ most significant memories of college are those outside of the classroom, a degree is not conferred based upon such things. Rather, students’ academic performance is what determines whether students earn a degree or certificate. Academic issues were a point of concern at many institutions as incoming students often struggled with basic skills. Furthermore, international students who needed remedial English were less likely to persist (Mamiseishvili, 2012). There have been numerous issues, obstacles, and challenges that may inhibit a student’s ability to navigate the rigors of college. Much has been discussed concerning improved educational opportunities for minority and underrepresented students in
