Scrambled Thoughts

When you are so close you can taste it and nothing else at the moment even matters. It is a crazy feeling; it’s chaotic and frustrating but great. I am so close to finishing this program. I have worked so hard for many months and it is finally getting to its end and feeling like it’s going to pay off. I hope it doesn’t continue for very much longer because the suspense of not knowing whether I am completing on the date that I want to complete on is really keeping my mind running. Wanting to ask the same questions that I already know the answer to but yet my mind won’t leave it alone.

This whole thing has been a rollercoaster ride and I’m not sure if I can take another downhill moment. When I’m feeling like I’m so close and that everything is going to work out it seems like something is always there to bring down my hopes. I worked on my senior project today and I am asking to present it this Thursday. While I was working on my speech I was hoping that it would bring out the main things that I wanted to team to hear about the ways that I have changed and the person that I was to the person that I am now. Being this close it is just hard to get my mind to focus on much else. I really wish there was a way to know when all of this would end and I can go on and start my life.

How we as citizens should act

The difference between a citizen’s duty and a citizen’s responsibility is a duty is something that a citizen has to do because if not there would be severe consequences. A responsibility on the other hand, is something that a citizen should do. For example, if there is an election and you have a preference on a certain candidate but you don’t vote, you are failing your responsibility as a citizen. A duty though is like a rule, something that as a citizen you are required to abide by. If you don’t abide by those rules then you could end up on house arrest, probation, jail, etc. as a consequence. These types of consequences are frowned upon by society. The duties that are required of us as citizens are listed in the Constitution. Because they are listed in the Constitution being ignorant to these duties are not acceptable. In my opinion, since we are all citizens of the U.S, I think that we should all obey are duties as well as responsibilities because then we can honestly say that we do all that we can as citizens of the United States of America. –And then we also can say in Abraham Lincoln’s words, a “government of the people, by the people, and for the people.”
