Personal Narrative: My Trip To Greenville, South Carolina Primary

The process of being chosen for Future Leaders of Jones County included writing an essay and then being interviewed by a panel that oversees the Future Leaders of Jones County. In the organization, we were broken off into small groups and mixed with students from different schools around the county. I played a large role in my group— the fundraising leader. Our goal was to meet the needs of our local Battered Women’s Shelter, which were providing bedding, laundry, and a new playground for the women and their children that were also being homed. This project was very close to all of us in my group because there are so many battered and abused women in our community. In order to achieve the shelter’s wishes, we had to raise at least $1,000, so I had to go out and raise the money. With the help of many in our community, I was able to help my group reach our $1,000 goal, and we were able to go above and beyond accomplishing our project of service. After buying the necessities (pillows, sheets, blankets, detergent) for the shelter, we were able to purchase and put together a completely new play area for the children. The whole project was a success and getting to help better our community by enabling these women to stand up and get out of the situation of being abused so that they can start a new life. Seeing women like this made me realize how important it was

Have you ever been to Atlanta,Georgia before?The time i went to Atlanta,Georgia was month I have ever had. I got to hangout with my cousins,family,and friends. We had so much fun with them because we did something so much fun.We went to Atlanta,Georgia to go visit people.

It all began in January 2013, when I was elected as my region’s state officer candidate. In order to be elected as a state officer candidate, I had to prepare a two-minute speech as well as study for a FCCLA knowledge test. Once regional elections day had arrived, my first priority was to take the knowledge test. This test consisted of various questions about FCCLA to prepare me for my upcoming term, if elected. I took the test at ease and passed with a rousing one hundred percent! It was now time for the, “Meet the Candidates,” portion of the day, where I introduced myself to many voting delegates as they asked me various situational based questions about FCCLA. Once this portion was over, I was now on my way to the most stressful part of the day- giving my speech. As I walked on the stage and began my speech, my

Over the last few decades, we have seen a shift in voter participation, and involvement in the election arena rather it be national, state, and or local levels. According to Time Magazine, 2014 mid-terms voter turnout was at a 72 year low. At only 36.4% of U.S, eligible voters voted in 2014 mid-terms, down from 40.9% that voted in 2010 mid-terms. Analyst views the decline as the “millennial generation” coming into effect, which clearly indicates the age group (18-33) seems to have a significantly lower turnout rate compare to the older age groups. With less participation in state and local elections, we now face decisions such as elections in South Carolina being cancelled if the incumbent as no challenge, according to Cindi Scoppe associate editor at “The State”. This doesn’t provide ample explanation considering that the mid-terms elections do in fact represent a significant portion of state-level elections, which ultimately allows individuals to experience policies being implemented at a much greater effect. So the questions arise are we happy with single file candidates ascending to the elected office with no election? Is it the lack of interest or it doesn’t matter who’s in the seat? What does this say about the public responsibility for electing these people as our representatives to make decisions that impact our daily lives?

The election of 2000 between Al Gore and George W. Bush was illegitimate. Although presidential elections are to be held at a very high standard, this election was based solely on cheating the system. Both the Republican and Democratic parties schemed rather than actually campaigning when circumstances became difficult. A major reason as to why the election was illegitimate was that felons and those that had names similar to felons, were not allowed to vote. 20,000 people were disqualified from voting and only 33 were actual felons. Another reason was because they recounted dimpled chads, even though dimpled chads are not supposed to count. Although the dimpled chads cost Gore 6,000 votes, they should not have been counted. Also, 3,000 votes

My exchange for South Carolina Governor’s School for Science and Mathematics is a great one. The school receives a driven student determined for success and craving to be the change of the world. I get an amazing opportunity to boost off into success from one place created solely for students just like myself. I’ll have to give up a few hard things that I considered normal, but anything in this life worth having is worth the fight-well in my case, the sacrifice.

I live in 24 Congressional District. Its major cities are Suburban. It is predominantly urban. This Congressional District Lean Republican because people who lives in this 24 district have higher education than who does not have educational. My Congressional District Representative is Kenny Marchant and my Senators are John Cornyn and Ted Cruz.

Walking into my first political setting was interesting to say the least. The Hall County Democratic Committee was not at all what I had expected and was pretty difficult to find. As I struggled to find 996 Athens St. I had taken roads I had never seen before and hardly found the little whole in the wall. When I arrived I was really surprised. The audience there was older and included black, white, and Hispanic races with a few younger people and even students sprinkled in.

From the beginning of my campaign, there have been many misconstructions about the way my platform is built. It’s hard to run a liberal campaign in a city where the word liberal is closely related to the idea of someone coming to take your guns away. However, my platform is not just progressive. It’s moderate. My plan is to work with my republican counterparts, how it should be, to achieve a future that’s agreeable with the average United States citizen. This campaign is about making the world a better place to live in for all of our people – not for just some of them.

Never judge a book by its cover. That quote basically sums up my whole experience of this Kennesaw State event. So it was a boring night and my friend Arius and I were on twitter tweeting, when we saw the flyer for the comedian. The flyer discussed how Jay Pharoah was coming to Kennesaw State for a show. Arius said “Oh my God, we have to go! This guy is funny and he is always on Saturday Night Live.” While she is having over there having a heart attack, I’m sitting there trying to figure out who this guy is. I don’t watch Saturday Night Live and the picture of him on the flyer looked corny. I doubted him, but I went anyway. I found out that he was actually hilarious.

Have you ever seen the Lincoln Memorial in person? Then you’ve been to washington D.C. In Washington D.C. there is a lot going on, and it’s a lot of fun!

It’s the year 2020, and it seems like the world hasn’t changed much since 2014. I mean, we still haven’t invented time travel, cancer is still big and bad, and we still don’t know what all that grey matter in space is. And the world is still turning without so much as a mention of global warming or apocalyptica. I guess you could say the earth is still “peaches n’ cream.” Well, actually, that’s not totally true. It’s South Carolina that’s all peaches n’ cream, and the rest of the world has its’ own flavors too. I mean, nowadays you can step out of any building in Wisconsin and get the distinct taste of brie cheese, or go to Florida and get a face full of oranges like Tropicana just sucker punched your nostrils. And all the other states have their own distinct tastes as well. I guess, the only thing that’s changed the most is that all oxygen is now flavored. As in, whenever you walk outside, and you take a breath of whatever your state decided would be its state flavor… that’s what you taste.

During my internship at the Bexar County Democratic Party, I was tasked with leading a block walk for the upcoming presidential election. I made sure that my team members were given tasks that complimented their strengths and abilities, i.e. those with greater speaking abilities were designated speakers. I took a holistic approach to my job to ensure that group rapport was established and upheld, while executing our given tasks. Regardless of my idealistic tendencies, I am also pragmatic, which I find to be essential when taking on leadership roles. Towards the end of a triumphant block walk, I noticed that our water for the day had run out. Although there were a few more houses to knock on, I decided to postpone work, because I found it unacceptable

Recount The movie Recount is a dramatization of the 2000 presidential election, Al Gore concedes the presidency to George W. Bush, but recants when he learns of irregularities in the Florida vote count. Democratic strategists Ron Klain (Kevin Spacey) and Michael Whouley (Denis Leary) race to Florida to uncover the truth, as do Republicans under James Baker (Tom Wilkinson). Between faulty voting equipment and the vagaries of Florida's Secretary of State Katherine Harris (Laura Dern), a 36-day stalemate ensues. The question is of course the legitimacy of the Presidential election of 2000.
