Personal Narrative: Once On Capitol Hill

Through the duration of this course some of my opinions on civic issues have changed and some have stayed the same. An opinion of mine that has changed is the number of flaws in our education system. This is an important civic issue because the education of young people is deciding the future of this world. This is politically significant because this generation will grow up to be a part of politics whether running for a role in the federal, provincial, or municipal parliamentary or simply voting in an election.

Studying in a foreign country is an interesting experience of an individual lifetime. One tends to learn a number of things relating to ways of life in a foreign land. Social, political and economic values and aspects are usually different from one region to another. Therefore, through studying abroad one is able to learn different issues about another society such as gender and sexuality issues, social class and race/ethnicity issues. Having come from a developing country studying in the U.S.A has been a great experience personally. This paper will attempt to provide a reflection of my personal experience on studying in the U.S by comparing the history of Angola and the U.S.

Growing up in Ghana, I had heard a lot of things about the U.S. This was a country I had always wanted to visit; my prayer was answered when I got the opportunity to travel there. Arriving in a new environment came with many experiences. Adjusting with food, language and the weather was not easy. With the passage of time, however I have been able to0 adjust and fit it. This write-up therefore is to elaborate on my experiences since coming to U.S.

Being a member of this club, fueled her interests in political matters. Upon graduation, Alice moved to New York to become a social worker. However, she quickly realized that if she remained in the position of a social worker, she would not effect a significant change in the world.

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.

The first day on the job was terrifying! The vocalized mandate of perfection was intimidating. Compound the expectation of perfection with 100 elected officials seated on the Senate floor, and CSPAN providing continual coverage for the nation to view, I imagined this to be a mistake-filled summer. Serving as a United States Senate Page seemed as though it would be an impossible task. I received my orientation, as I was ushered throughout the Capitol building’s halls, I learned where amendments would be taken, bills dropped off, and roll call sheets delivered, the necessary locations quickly became a blur. I was just as lost as an explorer without a map.

It is May 14 of the year 1787. Gathered here, today, I am joined by fifty-five other members at the Pennsylvania State House, here in Philadelphia. I am joined by George Washington and Benjamin Franklin. We have come together to turn our attention to the dire need for change. For so long has our nation continued to function, unaware and oblivious to the problems carefully concealed beneath our very foundation...so does a predator who waits upon its prey at its most vulnerable state. We must act in order to prevent such a downfall.

Before I joined National Honors Society, I was a shy, though dutiful student. I completed assignments, turned them in, and got a good grade. Nothing more, nothing less. Though my school career appeared successful, and I had minor volunteer commitments, it wasn’t until I joined our school’s chapter that I grew to feel confident enough to pursue excellence unabashedly.

@ Joe. Glad to see you are still taking time to convey your ideas to us.

The Doherty women can still turn heads … very regal looking. As I recall, the photo was taken at the Kennedy Compound on Cape Cod, along Nantucket Sound in Hyannis Port. My brother, Dan Doherty, Uncle Teddy and me went on a bender, which explains why we were not in the photo. The only thing I remember is when we woke up next to Tip O'Neill's tombstone ... empty whiskey bottles scattered about everywhere. Must love that ole bulbous nose alcoholic. RIP Tip + Uncle Teddy. On the other hand, was this simply an enchanting dream?

“Are you ready?” mom asked as we approached the silver bus with the greyhound sign on the side. I thought for a moment looked at her clear, pale face with her blond hair then looked at our bags, thought for a moment.

When I was eight years old I went to the inauguration of President Obama. Patriotism was apparent in the air that day. It was the first inauguration of an African-American president. This was a great moment in history and I was there, at eight years old. Those days were the greatest in my life. It was very important to my parents that I witnessed this moment. I agree strongly.

I grab my stuff and emerge out of cover. I see the hovercraft is still flying around shooting at the city people. I take my bow and load an explosive arrow and aim on the hovercraft. I release the arrow and it flies straight into the belly of the hovercraft exploding it in the air. I make my way to President Green’s home. Dozen’s of Clippers surround the outside of her home. I watch them as they walk around the property watching for any intruders that come close. I grab one of my incendiary arrows, sight in on a clipper and release. The arrow penetrations his chest and he is lit on fire. He falls to the ground on fire, and the other clippers come running over to put him out. Since they are all distracted I run to the front of mansion and I

Remember when Bill came to the CoLab to check on my request and you also showed up minutes later.
