Luckyday Citizenship Program

Citizenship in Athens and Rome has similarities and differences. Being a citizen is being a native or naturalized member of a state or nation who owes allegiance to its government. Being a citizen meant different things in each empire. The relationship between the citizen and their nation varied from their system of citizenship. Rome had a better system of citizenship because they were more open to who they allowed citizenship, they gave people they conquered citizenship, and personal grudges, judgements about others/topics would not affect the Empire.

I am honored to be a nominee for the Governor's Honors Program (GHP). In being a part of GHP next summer, I have high hopes of learning more about my instrument and the places it can lead me. I have already decided that I plan on using my instrument and also my musical ability as part my career later on in life. My goal is to become a professional musician and a music therapist. I believe that this program can make that goal possible, as well as push me closer to reaching my full potential in many different aspects of life as well.

I have been a part of almost every club available to me at Northeast Jones High School and in my community during my time in high school years.Some of the clubs that I am involved in are Beta Club, Serteens (president 2015-2016), Student Council (treasurer 2015-2016), Future Business Leaders of America, Teens Getting Involved for the Future, Key Club, Junior Auxiliary’s Crown Club, Yearbook, and Future Leaders of Jones County. My involvement in all of these clubs have helped me realize how important it is to be involved with my community in order for me to give back. I feel that it is necessary to be extremely involved before being selected for the Luckyday Scholarship, and it would be such a great reward for always giving to those in need to be selected for the Luckyday Scholarship. Because I have been involved with so many clubs and extracurricular activities that serve our community, I will not have a problem juggling academics with any clubs I might join at the University of Southern

I’ve learned to participate in a community-geared atmosphere to enhance problem solving skills. I’ve realized JROTC’s values of service and teamwork were applicable outside of high school. I’ve accepted the fact that my individuality that has potential of improving my country. With those learned facts, I was given the ability to contribute to my community and feel motivated to better myself and those around me in ways unimaginable. All of this is done with the assistance of JROTC implementing citizenship skills into their core

The Birthright Citizenship Amendment is one that has caused controversy. Should  a person that is  born in the US, regardless of whether the parents were here temporarily, or illegally be considered an American citizen? The 14th Amendment states “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the States wherein they reside”, ( Spalding, 2010). The interpretation of this amendment has caused the controversy.

Over a century ago, the 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution was implemented to grant citizenship to individuals born within the country. This was the first time that it was defined what it means to be a citizen in the U.S. While the amendment was created to address the citizenship of slaves, it is currently under speculation in regards to granting U.S. citizenship to children born to undocumented immigrants (Gans, 2012). While there have been many arguments to place restrictions or eradicate granting children of undocumented immigrants U.S. citizenship, the constitutional right remains the same: if you are born on U.S. land, you are a citizen (Angelo, 2013). This paper argues that the birthright citizenship of U.S. born children of undocumented immigrants should continue to be granted based on the underlying principles of the 14th Amendment and the possible implications of ending birthright citizenship. First, this paper describes birthright citizenship and the 14th Amendment, as well as its use in several Supreme Court cases that are significant to this issue. Then, various implications of eradicating birthright citizenship are discussed. Before discussing the possible consequences of eradicating birthright citizenship, it is imperative to discuss the history and principles underlying it.

If it were up to you, and you had the choice whether or not to give undocumented citizens a chance at citizenship, would you? Many people believe that they should not have a chance at citizenship because they came here illegally. Every person has their own opinion on this topic. This debate is one of many debates going on in between the candidates or even the politicians, but of course they all have their own views and reasons on it. Everyone should consider that they should because either we are hurting families or they can help improve our economy. In the next three paragraphs this argument will be influencing you to side with my claim, that undocumented citizens should get a pathway to citizenship.

I am a dedicated and conscientious student in class, and a key member in many extra-curricular activities. As a keen musician, playing violin, trombone and piano, I contribute to a number of musical ensembles in school and played an integral part in the organisation of our school’s summer concert. I am also a member of several local youth orchestras and bands, with whom I have toured abroad many times, most recently to Italy, France and Belgium.

I deserve membership into Tri- M because of my considerable participation in fine arts. I started a strong foundation with women’s ensemble and music theory. Adding to that, I have joined Treble Choir as well as Liturgical Choir. I feel I am well prepared to enter into a honor society for music. In addition to the singing, I spend time after school volunteering for Mr. Parry. Not only is volunteering allowing more time for Mr. Parry to teach new songs, I also learn new skills, such as how to file

I don't think they achieved full citizenship because they still faved segregation, they don't have complete rights, there was racism. Some ways they faced segregation were their public spaces were separate and more run down than rights. Blacks couldn't go the same places or do the same things as whites with whites. A lot of people were hostile toward them because they had been taking there jobs. Although the 14 amendment said they had full citizenship they didn't because they still couldn't vote . Another way they weren't full citizens was they couldn't serve in a jury because they were former slaves. One way they faced racism was with the ku klux klan (kkk) because they wanted to drive them out of a political life. The ku klux klan (kkk)

Over the past few years I’ve done many things to give back to the community. Some examples of things I’ve done to give back to the community include; dancing at retirement homes such as marwood, safety patrol, helping with canned food drives, donating used clothes and items to thrift stores, helping teach young girls at dance and helping kids with schoolwork when they are struggling. With the experience that I’ve had giving back to the community, I feel that I will be a great edition to MJHS since it’s all about giving back to the community and helping

While the service trip took place in the Northern US, there were pre-determined requirements that had to be met before we could embark, one of which was a minimum fundraised amount of $500. The money that was raised by this program went towards scholarships for other Kentucky residents to attend YMCA Conferences, where they have the chance to learn about democracy, kinship, and our community. I count this as community service because the YMCA changed my life by transforming an academic student into a servant leader. Providing the chance for someone else to be shaped into one of tomorrow's leaders is doing a service to my community. The third tier of my service goes towards the United States of America. An example of my service to America has already been noted in my ten day service trip to northern states where I helped shelve books with my peers and kinfolk who had fallen into unfortunate circumstances as well as re-vitalise YMCA Camp Y-Owasco through mulching over 5 miles of trails; however, a lesser noted service that many young adults seek is education. I firmly believe that the education of forthcoming generations is one of the greatest services that can be done for our

I have been involved with Georgia daze since I was a senior in high school. I was once a mentee on the other hand of this operation, I was unsure of what college to attend but, Georgia Daze aided me in finding my place. Due to a conflict of scheduling, I wasn’t permitted to attend Georgia Daze sponsored events until middle of the semester.

On April 19th the Liberty Learning Foundation hosted a Super Citizen Celebration. More than 375 3rd grade students within Barbour County gathered to celebrate the completion of the Super Citizen Program. This 10 week program is funded by community donations and is offered free to local schools. It includes lessons in civics, character, financial literacy and social studies. It gives students an understanding of their important role as a citizen and the tools to apply the lessons to their lives. During the celebration students read essays they had written and they publically honored their local heroes with Liberty Replicas.

The present statuses in this area are when the people are going to be writing a petition to make emigrants to have benefits. All countries have people that they have the same problem about how they have emigrants living in their countries and the population grows every year. In the United States they created an act for immigration and national, but other states have many different rules to deal with emigrants. The new rules about the emigrants that president Obama had Obama care are for the emigrants that are document and for U.S citizens. Mostly people get money for living in the State from the government, but mostly legal emigrants live with that money.
