Hello my name is Samantha Hernandez.
ReplyDeleteI initially sign up for AP Goverment to take on a challenging course that will lead me to become more familiar with our country's goverment and the elements that make it up and contribute to it.
What I hope to gain from this class is a profound undertanding of our countrys political situations and a great experience.As well to learn more about myself and how I handle such a course as this one.
The most important problem facing our goverment now a day is our economy. Our economy has been on thin ice for quiet a while
and it has effected America greatly. Product of our poor economy is unemployment, budget cuts in school which cause many other problems.
I believe America will eventually arise from this great challenge but it will take a lot.

My name is Lizzet Garcia.
ReplyDeleteI've signed up for APGOPO this year because I want to challenge myself with various AP classes. I think it'll help prepare me for my freshman year in college and I'm looking forward to taking and passing the AP test in May, so I can get college credit.
I hope to "carry away" knowledge. I want to understand this nation's government and the political system and its parties. Before this course I've had questions concerning how the government and political system works and I'm looking forward to this course answering those questions.
I think the most important challenge facing our government today is the downhill of the economy. In effect I think the downhill of the economy has caused gaps in the unity of the nation and it's just filled with many effects. I believe that if the economy were to get better, it'd solve a lot of problems, and the nation would get back on its feet to solve more minor challenges.

My name is Jovan Villalobos and I decided to take AP Gov. because I feel that it will challenge me and help me to understand the government more and better as well. What I hope to carry away from this class at the end of the year would be a vast amount of knowledge in our history of Government and overall a better understanding of it. what I find the most important factor that is facing our government is plain and simple the economy, we need to get our nation back up and sprinting not running but sprinting and go back to being the mighty and powerful U.S.A.
