BY: ASHLEY CHRISTIANSEN

I WAS GIVEN A CHANCE TO LIFE WHEN I WAS BORN.

I CHOSE WHAT I WANT; MY MUSIC, MY CLOTHES, MY FRIENDS.

MY DREAM IS TO GO TO COLLEGE TO GET A GOOD PAYING JOB.

I'M PART OF THE GO GREEN CLUB HERE AT FHS.

WHEN MY PARENTS WERE GETTING A DIVORCE THE JUDGE HAD TO BE UNBIASED.

ANYWHERE I GO, I AM TREATED EQUALLY.

I HAVE FRIENDS THAT HAVE DIFFERENT ETHNIC BACKGROUNDS.

I AM ALWAYS HONEST WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY.

NOW THAT I'M 18 I CAN HAVE A VOICE IN THE GOVERNMENT.

MY STEPDAD WAS IN THE NAVY AND WE CELEBRATE ON VETERAN'S DAY.

I OBEY DRIVING LAWS WHILE I'M DRIVING.

EACH STATE HAS A REPRESENTATIVES IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

I AM ALLOWED TO FOLLOW MY DREAMS BECAUSE OF THE GOVERNMENT.

NO ONE CAN FORCE ME TO FOLLOW A RELIGION.

THE US DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE CONTROLS THE GOVERNMENT.
