We The People. Three simple words that hold irreversible truths about the founding of a nation. The Constitution of the United States of America is a document that was created ahead of its time. The founders of this country did not have a modern foreign government to emulate. Their innovative ideals of creating a governing power would allow citizens to be more actively involved in decisions made by elected officials. These elected officials not only have a duty to the government, but to the people of the United States.

Standardized testing reveals that students living in an economically stable neighborhood are more mentally developed than students living in poverty stricken communities. The problem with the educational system is not schools need to close and children need to be relocated to another one, it is inequality within the educational system continues to widen due to the expansion of the economic gap.

My vision is turning out to be twofold because it concentrates in achieving an advanced degree from Michigan State University. At this time, I am not sure what degree I will end up getting. At one point it I was dead set on a law degree, but time and experience have taught me that I have not found exactly what I am passionate about, but I do believe that I will find it with time. I do know that I regret missing out on a traditional college experience and am now working toward pursuing an advanced degree in the most traditional way possible. This means that I do not want to work during the degree so that I can participate in graduate campus life and sports events. Until recently, I never really wanted to go to college and maybe that is why I never really fell in love a particular school and waited so long to get my undergrad. Now, I have fallen in love with Michigan State over the years and truly want to experience everything that the school has to offer. It is important to me to make the school my Alma matter. Additionally, the pursuit of knowledge and achieving a post graduate degree has become incredibly important to me. It is my current dream to become a master in a vocation that I am passionate about and that fulfills me.
