Personal Statement: My Responsibility To America
“My responsibility to America”

Many people would respond that their responsibility relies being in the military so

one can serve their country, others may say it's to become a politician so they can better

America, or it may be something as simple as voting in the presidential elections or state

and district voting; even though voting may seem small to some people but really it can

have a big impact on America. For me, my responsibility may just be that simple, but it

also may not, but like many teens in high school they may not know what life has in

store for them or what they will do in life.

I do know that a part of my responsibility would be to vote because I have very

strong feelings about voting. I would

Hopefully I will be able to become a teacher so that I could help incoming

generations but I would love to inspire my future students. To me teachers can be

underappreciated because they teach our future generations about many things, like

american history, government, math you name it. But my experience with teachers who

are teaching something about america have really inspired me to learn about even what

some people call the most boring thing on earth. That is why I would love to become a

teacher to hopefully inspire my students like my teachers before me have done

especially when it comes to learning about america and that is where I see most of my

responsibility lies.

But like most teens in high school trying to figure out life and their future things could

possibly change so may my responsibilities. I may change my mind and join the military like

many people in my family or have some sort of profession that could have a large or small

impact on america but my responsibility to help america in the future or even now will not

    I never really had an answer when grown-ups asked me what I wanted to be when I was little. Did I want to be a Veterinarian? Maybe, animals are awesome. Teacher? I’d rather just learn. Astronaut? Only if they make space food tastier. Now I’m about to be one of many so-called “grown-ups” and I finally have the answer. I want to help people. I will help people. I am going to be a social worker.…

    Instead of major parties or candidates that always have the advantage of winning, minor parties or candidates will have a chance at receiving more votes due to the increased population of voting. Notably, states that are overwhelmingly democratic or republican like California or Texas respectively can have a chance to become swing states free of party support. Simply, the more people vote the more likelihood there is of having closer election results because of all the different views that people possess. Honestly, local and national elections only have a limited number of party groups that win because of all the party political groups that are coherent to that location. All the influence and funding that is put into these groups has tarnished the integrity of the election and has effected the location around them. With the use of mandatory voting, the number of people with nonpartisan opinions will overweigh the votes of political clubs causing fair game. It is sensible to have local communities or states to have equal odds in voting because there will be less inaccuracies on political outlooks in these…

    My responsibility to America is to be a model citizen. To me this means you take care of your family. It also means to lead by example. It can also mean to participate in the democratic process. A model citizen is a person who abides by laws, votes, serves their country in some way shape or form, pay taxes, and defends their rights and privileges.…

    It is the duty of the American people to play an active role in determining who represents their best interests in Congress. Stephen Witham, in his presentation titled, Becoming an Informed Voter, says the following in regards to the American peoples’ responsibility to not only vote, but to do so intelligently, “We, as voters, are supposed to focus primarily on electing Congress…I challenge the students to think about voting for an individual based on the way they vote to represent you in Congress.” In response to the aforesaid…

    As I sit in my classroom and look around to each of my peers I hear them talk about how “This is too much work!”, “I hate being in school.”, “I'm dropping out and never coming back!”. I realize how fortunate we are unlike the kids in other countries who don’t even get the opportunity to go to school. For the ones who do get the chance they have to go through great lengths such as walking long distances or they don't have the appliances to handed to them like we do in America. I've decided that my responsibility to America is to ensure that I'm taking advantage of all of my education opportunities to the best of my ability, in anyway that I can.…

    My generation will play a large part in the future of America. As teenagers and children right now we will soon grow up to do many things that will keep our country moving forward and progressing in new technologies and finding new medicines. Our generation will be the ones that control the stock market prices in whether they rise or fall. We will soon be the people that are walking the sidewalks and crossing busy intersection in the big cities. We will be the people that are taking care of the sick and wounded and finding cures for sicknesses that were thought to be untreatable. We are the next generation of loving mothers and fathers that will soon be the ones that are consoling or setting examples for the next generation that will take…

    What is my responsibility to America? I’m sure that many people have many other responsibility’s but yet, what is mine? I feel that my duty or responsibility to America as and American is that I need to defend what is right and to do my duty to America. Now if you ask what I mean by defending what is right then let me tell you what I mean. An NFL star stood up they other day for what he thought was right, he stood up to support the fact that immigrants or African Americans are still being treated poorly and suppressed in the United States of America. This guy was the one and only Kapernick. People didn’t support him on this, some went as to so far as burning his jerseys and send hail mail to him. This was just not right, because he did have the right to stand up for that, because as it says…
