It is not everyday that you hear a 17 year old girl state that she wishes to rightfully earn her spot in the United States Legislative branch, but today is just one of those few days.
Congress also known as “The Millionair Club” seems way out of my reach at this point in my life, and that is thanks to the fact that I am not a millionaire, and that my immigration status remains undetermined. These two reasons currently act as a burden to my life because, it makes it paying college tuition and expenses even more difficult, and decreases my chances of fulfilling my dream to be a representative of the house, but that doesn 't stop me from dreaming. Who knows, maybe one day i 'll be a millionaire, maybe one day as a lawyer, I will represent a case so big that it will land in the supreme court, but that day will only come if continually apply the leadership skills that I have developed since 1998.

    Why I want to work with Senator Deb Fischer Throughout my recent experiences this year I have gained experience working in government institutions and I wish to further expand on my skills gained there. Assisting in the duties of a U.S. Senator will develop my own administrative capacity when pursuing future goals. I thoroughly believe that working with an experienced female politician will prove even better at developing my personal objectives, as I will be able to identify with her.

My long-term goals for this opportunity are to obtain whatever ideals I can and use them to better my life and those around me.…

    Simplicity “I have to remind myself to live simply and not overindulge, which is a constant battle in a material world. ”-Sandra Cisneros Growing up with hoarders, I lived in houses piled with random garage sale finds and stacks of butter dishes filled with useless items my family never knew we even had.

    “Rest in peace Jacoby Mason” those were the words I remember reading on the day that my world fell apart. When you grow up with someone you never think that they will leave you so soon. For me, I never thought that I would lose my best friend, who has been there ever since Pre-Kindergarten, at the beginning of senior year. We have been through everything; he was one of the very few people that I could lean on when I needed someone. We shared countless memories from exchanging gifts at various times throughout the year, calling each other no matter what time it was, and even taking pictures (the biggest struggle of them all).…

    April 15, 2013; an explosion occurred during the Boston Marathon, killing three and injuring several hundred. This was the date when I decided to change my field of study from an important but broadly insignificant focus in mechanical engineering to one in political science. It was in the wake of this devastating blow to America’s security that I realized the important role I could play in shaping foreign policy and security initiatives should I devote my life to the study of international relations and the political infrastructure of the United States. I subsequently transferred schools, moving 1600 miles from Richmond, VA to Fort Collins, CO, to pursue a bachelor’s degree in political science from Colorado State University, which I completed…

    Young children are often asked what they would like to do when they reach adulthood, and most respond with “I want to be the President of the United States.” Though this career path is quite popular amongst a typical kindergarten class, in general none of these kids will pursue such as demanding and competitive position—persistence is a key element, and most people would feel discouraged in such a contest. One now may ask themselves: “What about the kids that are determined this is the career path for them and are willing to persist through the worst of times?” Bill Clinton is a perfect example of such determination: as a young child, he had the opportunity to meet President John F. Kennedy; this inspired Clinton to pursue a career in politics and work his way up to the top as the most powerful political figure in the structure of our national government. There is no exact formula that will guarantee the seat behind the legendary desk of the Oval Office, but becoming involved in politics and having a determined attitude are essential first steps.…

As I grew up, my goals became realistic. Instead of being president, however, I now want to do something that involves helping others and educating.…

    Ever since I can recall, I have had a fervent passion for government and politics. Unlike kids my age, I would always pick up a newspaper to keep up on current events, instead of watching SpongeBob or playing video games. I grew up with a craving to help people and solve America’s congressional dysfunction. Many of my friends and teacher started to call me “Mr. President,” and thus after being chosen as most likely to become President in middle and high school, my motivation to study government and make a lasting impact on the political history of America grew stronger.…

    The majority of the people I encounter at my school have a complete lack of care when it comes to important social issues. To even mention words like feminism or Black Lives Matter brings eyerolls and headshakes from various parts of the classroom. But I enjoy discussing and thinking critically about these issues. Discussions of social conflicts that are pervasive in our community are important and necessary. Martin Luther King Jr once said that “our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”…
