Time to Vote



Even though I cannot vote in this election, I still believe the election is important to vote and everyone who can vote should vote not only because it is their civic duty, but because everyone’s vote really does count. Look at Florida in the 2000 election.


This year’s election is really important because of the issues that are being brought up in the election. In this year’s election some of the main issues on the line:

· Abortion

· Economic stimulus

· Energy

· Immigration

· Taxes

· War in the Middle East



Another reason why this election is so important is because statically showing this election will be the most young people voting in history. I believe this is important because I think that young people need to understand where they stand on all the issues and which candidate stands more on their same preference. Some young people consider that they should be the same as their parents or they make judgments on candidates based on other things then the issues. When someone is voting they need to consider that they will being putting there vote to a four year plan and that the issues are they only thing that is important. Finally, the future president needs to be globally known and respect because we are choosing a leader to represent us as a leader of the United States of America.
This is why I think this is election is so important and what people need to take into consideration

Midterms!


Midterms are next week. What have I learned so far this year? How will I study for midterms?

So far this year I have learned so much for all my classes. To begin with in my Yoga Class I have learned how to de-stress my life and relax. Then in Japanese I have learned how different our culture is from theirs. In Personal Finance I learned how to better budget myself. Converse 101 has taught me that there are many ways on dealing with stress and how to manage your time. Introduction to fitness and wellness made me realize that I need to change my life to find a balance in my health and wellness. Finally, in my computer class I learned some basic programming Knowledge. Well what about Ideas and Culture?


Ideas and Culture midterm is on Thursday the ninth of October. I have a plan though on how to study for the midterm term. My professor gave us a study guide for the exams. On the exams there is going to be three essay questions, compare and contrast questions, true/false, and match the characters. I plan to write one sample essay a night starting on Monday. On compare and contrast I will work on each point over the week understanding both points of view. On true and false I will study the books and articles we have read so far getting summaries of each pieces of work. Throughout the week I will also study the characters. That is how I am going to study for my midterm in Ideas and Culture.
