Growing up in a conservative household, I picked up right-sided political values and claimed them as my own. However, as I got older I began to realize that there are two sides of every coin. Strangely enough though, and unlike many rebellious teenagers, I still hold to the conservative ideals rooted in my family's history. A recent online quiz served only to confirm my suspicions about my true political orientation. I am hoping that this government course will provide me with substantial proof and reasoning behind my conservative opinions. As I approach the age of eighteen and will soon be able to vote, I want to be able to make informed decisions based on a knowledge of how the United States government is run. Freedom is a unique concept in today's world, so living in a nation founded on such liberating principles is quite a learning opportunity. I want this class to be the flashlight I can carry with me into the dark world of politics as I inch closer and closer toward my own independence.
