Since 2012, I have moved 3 times. The first move was definitely the hardest of all the moves. My entire life was turned upside down right before high school. I was happy to move, but it was a complete change. I had to relearn how to live, and I suddenly had to be the one to care for my younger siblings.

My most enduring passion is the care of foster children. This interest sprouted several years ago when my aunt and uncle first became foster parents. Since then, as I have loved and tended to the children in their care, it has grown into a full-fledged desire to base my career on ameliorating these children’s lives. I aspire to pursue a career in law so that I may one day fight for their prosperity and facilitate their adoptions into loving homes.

Along with the ability to lead me towards my desired career path, this major encompasses a plethora of captivating subjects: government, problem solving, critical thinking, writing, philosophy and ethics,

I’ve taken rigorous courses in areas that challenge me and stimulate my mind. My favorite classes have been the one’s that challenge me the most, like AP World History, AP US History, and AP European History. One of my most meaningful academic achievements was getting the highest possible score on the AP US History exam. My love for history gave birth to my interest in politics and law. For the past two years I’ve been a delegate at the North Carolina Youth Legislative Assembly. This opportunity allowed me to debate and discuss politics with other young people. But what really merged my passion with history and politics together was representing North Carolina at the Electric Cooperative Youth Tour to Washington D.C. in June 2016. During this week long experience I was able to tour our nation’s capital and met with U.S. Representatives and Senators. I’ve always worked hard to succeed in my endeavors because I want my hard work to make the Hispanic community proud and inspire other young

Though my major may seem completely unrelated to politics and legislation, the kinesiology curriculum is set up to engage each student in multiple social and political discussions. This, along with my interest in politics and legislation as led me to the path of becoming an Administrative support/Secretary for the Department of Legislative Services. Over the past 3 years, I have become very interested and passionate about topics pertaining to politics and legislation. I want to one day make a difference in my community through these means.

Through experiencing social injustices, and making myself more culturally aware of inequality amongst social classes, I believe I have cultivated the leadership skills necessary for success. My willingness to reach out to the environment beyond me has exposed me to a career path that excites me and is my true passion.

During my years attending university I plan to continue a rigorous course load focused on a career path that truly intrigues me. I also plan on continuing to dedicate my free time to service and philanthropy. Overall, I have dedicated my high school career to becoming a leader in and out of the classroom. I hope that by attending University of Texas-Austin I will be able to utilize the resources provided to become a leader prepared to make worldwide change, continue on a path of academic achievement, and create a successful future not only for myself, but for those in generations to come as

By the time I got to college, my decision to major in political science came as a surprise to absolutely no one in my life. But I knew that my major was more than just a field of study, it’s essentially a lifestyle. Studying political science requires so much more than reading textbooks and writing papers and doing quantitative analysis, at its very core it’s about how people live their lives. I knew that I would have to make concerted efforts outside of the classroom in order to truly understand the way things worked. My first effort at this was serving on the planning and zoning commission for the City of Coffeyville while attending Coffeyville Community College, which gave me a chance to understand local government at a level that most

Save a life, move over slow down.

There has never been better time to contribute to American politics. The economic downturn, diversity difficulties and international unrest will never go away. Therefore, the following four degree will help the student help shape the U.S. for the better.

Politics has been a passion of mine from a young age. Throughout my grade school years, my father and I would watch the news before school, and as we ate breakfast we would process the information we had watched. Therefore, before I fully even comprehended the role of a president, senator, representative, or delegate, I knew that I would one day run for office. The Washington Semester would allow me to become one step closer to achieving that childhood dream of mine.

. I was on my way to a 10:30 class on route 29 in Gainesville, heading towards route 66 when I looked over I noticed a car was flipped over on its side, and there was not a cop in site. The first thing that came to my mind was to stop, but there were multiple people helping. However, I knew how traffic was going to be on 66 to get to Mason on time. I had to juggle the choices of stopping, be late to class or keep driving and arrive to class on time. If I missed the class I would miss out on important information needed to pass the class to complete my degree. If I did not have a class that day I would have stopped because I care about people’s well-being. The consequence approach to this decision is deciding to keep driving because it is my

A major in political science prepares students for law school, government employment on the local, state and national levels, foreign service, teaching, business, journalism, or leadership in civic and political activities. For pre-law students, the department provides a series of law-related courses.

Moreover political science is important since it makes citizens familiar with their legal system.

The right-of-way for South Carolina emergency response vehicles is a law that should be followed by all South Carolina citizens. However, some citizens ignore or do not realize that by law they need to pull to the right side of the road when an emergency response vehicle is coming towards them.The deaths due to emergency responders responding to a call could decrease if citizens would move to the right. Possible deaths could occur in the back of an emergency vehicle or outside of them while at the scene of a medical crisis. The individual could be in really bad condition and any time delay could be due to people not moving to the right. Therefore, a wreck could occur still, and the emergency responders could get hurt, or the person in the wreck could be at risk of death. Deaths outside of the emergency vehicles are a high risk due to the size of the truck, and the time it takes just for the emergency trucks to come to a complete stop. Many people just ignore the law and think that the emergency responders only “run code” just so they

From the time I was a little girl I was always interested in politics. At the age of four I began attending school board meeting with my grandfather, by the time I turned 10 I frequented city hall meeting so often most of the Aldermen knew me by name. My love for politics carried over into my college carrier, but as I sat in American Government, national security, and political philosophy, nothing grasped my attention as much as the subject matter of state and local government. Growing up I understood the impact of state and local government, but some how still fell into the common notion that the federal government holds all the power. After the course my passion for politics on a state level grew, I participated in the Tennessee State Intercollege Legislature, and had the opportunity t to experience first hand how senate and house committees work. With state and local government I just scratch the surface of how municipals work, with this course I hope to further my understanding on how urban municipals operate as well as increase my political savvy and literacy. In addition to what I hope to lean in a more educational sense, I hope to in prove on my time management. This is not a physical class, but I will have to stay as focused and detected to this class just as much as I do the others.
