445 Words2 Pages
Passion is a driver for everything that I do. I hold the sentiment of “go big or go home” dear to my heart. There are many things that I feel a passion for and these tend to create my priorities. However, politics is the area that I feel for the most and the reasons are patriotism, privilege, and power. I am a member of the United States Marine Corps and I feel patriotism motivates me to act and serve in the manner that I do. The fact that the United States is the greatest country in the world is undeniable in my opinion. My passion for politics plays here because it is in this field that the greatest threat to my country occurs. Politics forms policies that can be both detrimental and beneficial to the United States. I would like to be a

A People’s History of the United States and A Patriot’s History of the United States explain the history of colonial and revolutionary-era America extremely different. In A People’s History of the United States, it explains history from almost everybody’s point of view. It describes what African-American slaves, white servants, women, children, Native Americans, and white men went through. In A Patriot’s History of the United States, it essentially does the exact opposite. It only explains history through white property owning men’s point of view; it completely ignores everybody else involved.

I am Densia Wray, a sophomore at City College majoring in Political Science and possibly Public Relations or minoring in Journalism. My decision to pursue these majors came after thoroughly enjoying my Intro to Media Communications and Intro to Political Science classes, as well as my desire to create local and societal change. Although it took a while for me to make this decision, once I started listening to what I really wanted and not what I thought was wanted from me I realized what I really want to do with my life. Ever since my first real introduction to the world and its realities in my high school English classes I knew that my purpose was not to conform to what society wants from me but to challenge society to change. Over the summer

The Congress was created as “the first branch” of government. The Framers of the Constitution expected Congress to wield most of the nation government’s powers, including its most important ones like “power of the purse” and the ultimate authority to declare war. They understood that Congress was essential to sustaining federalism and maintaining the separation of powers (WDB 393). To be elected to the U.S. Congress, a person becomes a candidate by running in a primary election. Candidates need to form organizations of personal followings and win “their party’s” nomination simply by getting more primary votes than the next candidate.

America is a nation where great things happen consistently, but with the good comes the bad. People are judged and criticized everyday for who they are or who they like. This should be changed. In this free country no one should be stripped of what they are because it's different than a majority. If the citizens of America come together and realize being different is not a bad thing, we can begin to heal as a whole nation.

I also know that my days on the PGA Tour won’t last forever. After I’ve finished my golfing career I plan on dedicating the rest of my life, until retirement, to my country. While I would prefer to serve in the military, my age would put too many others at risk in the field so I would love to work for a government intelligence agency or in politics. This is where my interest in international relations comes from. My love for this country exceeds that of golf, and living in America has been and will always continue to be a privilege.

In 1776 Congress sent me on my most important diplomatic mission. I was asked to persuade France to help America in its fight for independence.

Candidate’s interest in public service: The decisions for those of us who have decided to dedicate their lives to public service have made commitments to this effect for many reasons. For me, the inspiration to do so began around eight o’clock in the morning of September 11, 2001.

However, I knew instinctively that it was time for me to do something worthy, be a part of something bigger than myself.

Stranded in a Foreign World What makes America so great? Many would start with the job opportunities, the freedom, or some would even say the security. I, on the other hand, see America as more than that. What makes America great, in my opinion, is their willingness to help others in need, to welcome those begging for a new start.
