Personal Narrative: My First District Convention
Suzuki 3 Ami Suzuki Sherry Sharifian Government 2306 11 February 2018 Texas State Senate District 16 According to Who Represents Me?, the district with my address and ZIP code belongs to the Texas State Senate District 16. 1 This district is represented by Senator Don Huffines. Huffines is affiliated with the Republic Party of Texas, and he has served as a Senator since the 84th Legislature in 2015.
Rebuilding the Grand Old Party We were all in. As president of the local Young Republicans chapter, I made the executive decision to shift our entire political operation (all five active members) to support a longshot political novice. We were committed to working for Republican nominee Sarah Davis in her bid to become the State Representative for southwest Houston. It seemed clear to me that Sarah Davis represented the future of the Party: a refreshing young candidate eager to listen to the concerns of the next generation, a successful female lawyer ready to alter the perception of a Texas politician, a self-described “rational Republican” willing to buck her Party’s establishment in support of progressive policy prescriptions.
Another incredible opportunity we have as state officers is to reach the citizens of this state. Over the course of the year, State Officers reach over 6,000 FFA members across 29 counties and 84,899 square miles of landscape, from suburban areas to rural communities. Not only are we reaching members, but we are reaching out to schools, communities and people who want to know more about the jacket we wear and the association we represent. Through this outreach, we can share with all those we meet about the Utah FFA Association. Not only the association but the amazing influence it has on high school students and their career success.
No worries, I didn’t feel slighted at all. I considered it friendly banter, and I do have a tendency to say what I mean, and mean what I say :-) Therefore, I will point out that you did/do sound a bit patronizing, i.e. “well meaning” which denotes failure. This doesn’t offend me, in fact, I find it amusing :-) Liberals have a a plethora of tremendous accomplishments, that could be said began with Lincoln ideals.
Name of Activity Position(s) Held and Honors/Awards Won Grades of Participation Statement of Impact Student Council Positions: Recording Secretary; Honors/Awards: Participation Award 9 10 11 12 SOI: As a member of Student Council, and the recording secretary, I take attendance and notes, record events, plan meetings, and share notes with the entire council. I am the go-to person; I cover the slack when other officers do not complete their duties. I come in every day for a period and work on student council matters.
I knew it would be hard and that I would be running against some amazing members. Being an officer is a lot of responsibility, and I wasn’t sure if it was something I was prepared for. I was anxious and anticipating defeat. I had a few late nights researching the offices and the duties I might have to fulfill. I looked all over the National FFA Organization’s website for the answers to my questions and to ease my nerves.
Hey cutie, No, the tigers didn 't get me this time and I called off the engagements I had planned! Ha. I apologize I just am bad at writing emails and don 't get around to doing it till late at night; so it took awhile for it to click. That 's great that your brother is close with your grandmother.
I cannot thank you enough for the opportunity you gave me to work at the AAFA over the past couple weeks. I can genuinely tell you that the time I have spent working with you has been the most educational, worldly, and worth-while experience that an upcoming junior in high school can ever hope to accomplish during the summer. I learned more over the course of two weeks at the AAFA than I have ever before. The amount of proficiency that I have gained in international trade, manufacturing, and legislation on the hill is stupendous.
How I Gained Independence in Washington DC It’s a Thursday night, and I am just about to finish my packing for my first trip to Washington DC. It’s also my first time being away from my parents for more than a day or two. Right now, I’m in my room, folding clothes into the suitcase...one...two....three pairs of shorts, I said to myself. My mother yelled up saying “dinner is ready!” I stayed upstairs and yelled “I’ll be down in a minute!”
Presidential nominating conventions take place in the summer of an election year. The main task is to select the party’s presidential nominee, even that in all recent contests one candidate has already emerged from the nomination process with a clear majority of delegates and wins the nomination on the first ballot. To get the nomination, a candidate needs the support of a majority of the delegates, and if no candidate receives a majority after the first round of voting at the convention, the voting has to continue until someone does. After the delegates nominate a presidential candidate, he chooses a vice-presidential nominee, who has to be ratified by the delegates. The normal performance of the nominations used to have a pattern, in which there is a frontrunner that is leader in the early public opinion polls and has raised a large amount of money, and goes on to win the nomination.

Women in the Mills of Lowell, Massachusetts In 1810, Francis Cabot Lowell returned from England. He brought with him plans for the first power loom textile factory in the U.S. He built the factory beside a waterfall on the Merrimack River. He did this so he could use waterpower to operate large looms to weave cloth.
Previously, I traveled down to Delaware Technical Community College to attend a leadership conference involving The Special Olympics of Delaware. I have recently applied to attend this year's New Castle County Vo Tech's Unity Day with other high schools in the district, and another Fall Leadership Conference in Dover, Delaware. Currently, I am the Captain for St. George’s Junior Varsity Volleyball team. This leadership opportunity helps me take charge of my team and guide them to success in the sport. My knowledge from previously playing, and my responsibility on the court helped push me to this position.
Because of his outstanding ability to motivate us, the quality of our music and marching drills rapidly improved. As a result, we were awarded superior ratings and best in class awards during our Fall competition season. My service as band president has taught me the value of a good work ethic, the strength to go the extra mile, commitment, and selflessness. I will carry these lessons with me to college next year and eventually to my chosen career as a Graphic Designer. In an interview with a local news station about our band’s fundraising drive to purchase new uniforms, I said, “It’s a new era for the Ardmore Tiger Marching Band.”
Speech for NJHS Induction Ceremony Good evening students, faculty, and family members!
