About me

Gender	Female
Location	Lago Vista, Texas
Introduction	I am a HS senior taking a US GOV course at ACC. I am taking this class because I believe that: with the advancements in technology; the effectiveness of the World Wide Web; & the up to the minute reporting of news; teenagers today have a forum for learning and sharing information that wasn’t available to earlier generations. In the past, most children were raised to "adopt" the political party & beliefs of their families. What I would like to get out of this class is an understanding of how our nation works within our government. I would like the opportunity to form my own opinion about political issues &what political party I choose. I am not yet old enough to vote, but will be registered in time for our next presidential election. I took a civics quiz offered through this course at: www.isi.org/quiz.aspx?q=FE5C3B47-9675-41E0-9CF3-072BB31E2692 and scored a 57.8%. The average score for the more that 2000 people who have taken this test is 49%. Hoping this is a good sign! I am happy to be part of a generation who are encouraged to form our own opinion, free to discuss these opinions openly & honestly without fear of repercussion, & the forum to share & learn from each other.
