Do you feel that sometimes you have no control over what happens in your government, either school, nationwide, or at home? Well I feel that way in relation to school this time. I know that people at my school do their best (i.e. the teachers), but as for everyone else, I’m not so sure. I think that we should be able to vote on certain things that impact us and affect us directly. For example, we should be able to vote on how many people should be able to sit at a lunch table (a rule at my school). By voting, everything becomes more fair. Also, sometimes people who are supposed to give you guidance or help do not do that. They talk a lot, but they say nothing. I guess that politics are sometimes like that. It stinks to feel powerless in a government, no matter how small it is. One day I would like to make a difference and become powerful instead. That is partly why I would like to attend the Presidential Youth Inauguration Conference because then I would feel just a little more powerful, like I could make a difference. Seeing whomever sworn into office would make me feel that we have a little more control in our government. And that would be a spectacular feeling, don’t you think? I do.
