Parkview's Government: Introductions
Directions: This class is about American Government. In 200-300 words write about how government and history has impacted your from your beginning to present day. Be sure to include:- your name (the history of why your name was given to you)
- birthplace
- 2 or 3 high points in your life
- places you have lived
- your favorite year and why
- a historical American figure you admire and why
My name is Jenna. There is no specific reason why my name was given to me. I was born in Newport Beach. However, I’ve lived in Yorba Linda my whole life. Two high points in my life were when my family adopted our first dog and when we moved to our new house. My favorite year so far was probably 2008 because that’s when we made our first trip to Lake Tahoe and have been going each July since. I admire Susan B. Anthony for her central role in the women’s suffrage movement and the fight for gender, racial, and educational equality.
ReplyDeleteJenna,
DeleteI am glad to have you at Parkview and to be participating in our online discussion. Susan B. Anthony's impact continues today.
My name is Josh. I was born in Orange County. A couple high points in my life are moving into the house I live in now and getting my driving permit. I have lived in Yorba Linda and Kansas City. My favorite year is this year because I have been able to do a lot of fishing and hunting. A historical American figure I admire is Abraham Lincoln because even though there was a lot of conflict going on in America and a Civil War, he never gave up and he reunited America.
ReplyDeleteJoshua,
ReplyDeleteI am glad to have you on the discussion board. You are right, Abraham Lincoln faced the tremendous trials. The nation was divided by war and yet his faith in the union, and democracy never waivered, today's trials seem minuscule in light of what he faced during the Civil War.
