Responsibility In America

The Boston Baptist Church youth group has been one that has thrived in the past years as it reached out to the community at large and attracted youth to it’s programs. In the past year, other churches in the community have decided to reschedule their youth group meeting times to the same time as the Boston youth group. As a result, the population of the youth group has dwindled to an average of five to six youth in attendance. It is interesting to note that the most consistent attendees are ones from the community instead of the church, which is because the church does not have an abundance of youth in the congregation. While this group is very small, every third month there is an opportunity for youth groups in the area to combine and come together for a program called Hive. This program allows for the youth to meet others in the area, have a great time and to support each other in Christ. There are also special events within the Boston youth group once every month where they will go ice skating, go on a hike or something else similar. The goal of this proposal is to; present a plan where we are able to focus on the spiritual growth of the youth and to focus on how we can reach out to the youth in the community.

CHILDREN’S CHURCH: Children who want to help in Children’s Church get a copy of the lesson ahead of time and we meet with them to discuss and pray about the lesson. We decide which part of the lesson/service they will be in charge of. Whether it’s the object lesson, the Bible lesson, running the technology or games. A few days before, we meet or call again to make sure they are

"Freedom and equality are inherent rights in the United States: therefore, I encourage young people to take on the task by standing up and speaking out on behalf of people denied those rights. We have not yet finished the job of making our country whole”

America is our home so we need to take care of it. If we don´t respect and care for our country, it will fall apart. We need to be responsible and make decisions that help our country become the best it can be rather than hinder it. I believe that it is our responsibility to follow the laws set in our constitution and follow our own morals.

We can make a difference. Right now, as a collective generation, we are known for being killed in our schools. But we are also known as a generation that isn’t afraid to stand for what they believe in.

My responsibility to America is something I've never thought about before. I've never taken the time to look at everything that this country has given me, and what I need to give back to it. Now that I have started thinking about what this country has done not only for me, but the people around me; I have realized that for my sake, and my future family, I want to get out of here as soon as I can. I don't want to live in a country that decides that it is a better idea to supply money to the oil companies that go into other countries and create problems which lead to war, rather then using that money to give the veterans that are out on the street a place to live and food to eat. I don't want to live in a country where healthcare doesn't come

Even though a person taking on too many responsibilities can lead to his or her downfall, personal responsibility can lead to success in higher education. Because responsibility is the force that binds an individual to the course of action demanded by the goal, personal responsibility can incur beneficial habits and admirable behaviors that will advocate successful outcome. The state of New York once sought to raise $24 million in donations to give to poor residents as an incentive to stay in school, stay at work, and stay on track (Traub, 2006). I will be revealing some examples, to implement, of personal responsibility and

As an American there is one responsibility which falls onto the citizens shoulders and that goal can only be achieved through enough members of the country working together. The responsibility for Americans is for the people to work together to preserve and continue to build on the greatness of this country. The work is great, the laborers few, but the time is great and it is my responsibility as an American to help this goal succeed and become a strongly seen reality. The responsibilities that citizens including myself have are expected to be met when possible. These responsibilities include voting, protesting against what is immoral and wrong, and leaving the country better than what we inherited it as, even though these are done piece by piece.

Along with voting, Americans have a right to ‘life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.’ Americans are responsible for taking care of themselves and the people around them. Personal responsibilities are often taught from a young age: take care of one’s self inside and

America was built on ideas of reform and changing the lives of settlers to no longer succumb to oppression of someone telling them the way in which they must their lives. Blood was shed over the desire to be free and be able to have a free society where the people would be responsible for the outcome of their actions. Quoted in the preamble of the constitution is written, “We the People of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union... “ the constitution mentions a “perfect union” to create this we must fulfill the civic duties that are necessary to make this happen. Our responsibilities to America entail being a productive member of society, being educated, and volunteering in my community.

But that was not completely the case. I played football, face painted, jumped rope and just fellowshipped and interacted with those kids. They took pictures on the volunteers phones and were truly loved on. We all met in Aventura lobby at two in the afternoon, and left about two fifteen. We drove to Kathleen high school and parked at an open field in a church parking lot. Then, we walked through the neighborhood, picking up the normal kids who come. We brought them back to the field and began to play and let the kids choose what activities they want to do, like football, frisbee, jump rope, face/body painting and soccer. They are free to do whatever they please until it is time for Bible study. We gathered up all of the kids onto the tarp and sat them down and one of the volunteers (students) presents a Bible study. For instance, last week was about giving everything you have to God and not being selfish. Most of these kids do not have a lot of possessions so they do not want to give anything they have up. But one little boy stood up and said “I would give up school for the Church,” that was not exactly the point of the lesson, but the fact that he was willing to give up something was a step in the right direction. Before snack, we have one of the kids pray, it is so convicting seeing those kids are so excited to pray and they argue over who gets to pray first; yet, in some of my

As American citizens, it is our responsibility to reach our highest potential. That potential in our career, our families, our way of living, and by being the best person we can be. Every citizen has their own responsibilities, none being exactly the same, but some being very similar. As citizens, we owe it to America to hold our country to the highest standard. We, the citizens make our country a great place to live. We are responsible for making that statement true. Some citizens’ responsibility is minimal, while others take on a higher responsibility. America is full of opportunities to find responsibility. We take whatever responsibility fits us, and use it to better our country. I, too, have a responsibility to America; my responsibilities including serving my country, working in my career, and achieving my dreams.

If one person takes the challenge then that person could change America one by one. Let us take a moment to ask this question, “Is this the environment in which we want our kids or grandchildren to live?” If no, what is going to be done to make sure positive change happens? Never be afraid to stand up for what you know is right no matter your age. God will bless you keeping you in His hands. No doubt some will make fun and try to overpower, then fight harder, and stand firm.

“You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.” Abraham Lincoln. My responsibility to America is to take responsibility. Being a teen, I think many teenagers believe that we cannot impact on our community and don’t need to take responsibility till we turn eighteen. Of course I can mess around for my whole life until becoming an adult, and instantly stop and become mature. Not exactly, we can start having an impact in our cities or even our whole country if we realize we don’t need to be irresponsible like media conditions us to believe.

My responsibility to America is not to become a superhero, or uncover a drug-trafficking ring. It’s not to pass a law banning the use of deadly weapons, or prevent that law from being passed. It’s not to fight against the injustices of the world, or end world hunger, or cure cancer. It’s not to climb Mount Everest, or to destroy a terrorist organization. It’s not to eliminate illegal immigration, or to write a speech as iconic as “I have a dream,” or “Four score and seven years ago.” It’s not to change the way we think, or to fix the things we break.
