Blog 1 - Politics

 

When I was little I hated history, I found it very boring, wit lots of dates to remember, so I never had the interest to understand politics. My parents got pregnant with me when they were 19 years old, they did not receive a good education and never showed interest in voting. These two reasons made me an uninformed person. When I entered college, I understood the importance of politics and exercising my right to vote. I influenced my parents and inspired them to vote with me, so the first time I exercised my right, it was also my parents' first time. I believe that people's ignorance is the main reason why in this country there is a large number of disinterested people, people who don't vote, or vote for people who don't really represent them. This shows us the importance of education in school, and in neighborhood schools it is often of the lowest quality. I am happy to have opened my eyes and influenced my parents.

We must be active citizens and improve the system in which we live.
