1/3

I really have no favorite topics but one of the topics that I feel that it's important to know as a citizen is everything about the voting system in the US. I really believe that people should be aware of how everything works and how the process escalates into becoming president of the US. In that lesson I found out a lot of things that I did not know about like how there is a process, like for example: first is the Nomination which is the official endorsement of a candidate by a party, then it's the Preliminary in which a the final candidates for presidency are elected. After that comes the primary election and that election is opened to all, no matter of what party you are registered with. The last three are the closed primary elections, the Caucus, and the General election. The closed primary elections is the one that is only opened to those registered as party members. The Caucus is a meeting in which members of a particular political party select candidates for presidential nomination. The last and final one is the general election in which the main election is held between the winners of the various primary elections.

You can either have to pay a fine or go to jail for not having done your duties as a US citizen. The other set are the civic responsibilities, those are the things that one should just be aware of, like it's not mandatory but it's recommended to do so. Some,e of the things are like knowing what the government is doing so that you can have the chan...

In my last year in Simon Tech, as a senior, my favorite moment was when I found out that I had gotten accepted to the college that I wanted to go to. I really have wanted to attend CSULA after high school and when I found out I had gotten accepted I was happy. I found out on March 10nth on my fourth period and when I saw the Email I got up and was like "finally". After that  started gotten emails about my portal and what not and was really exited to start doing all those things as I transition from high school to college. Another reason that I was happy and exited to go to that college was because some of my good friends are going there. I have a couple of friends that I know that are going there and well that's good to know because I won't be going to a college where I don't know anyone. And well the last and final reason that that day was my favorite day was because that day a graduate friend that I Know from CSULA mentioned that she would help me get a job ...
