My Civic Responsibility

“Freedom is not free” has always been a statement pounded into the minds of young children to remind them of the sacrifice of soldiers. Soldiers, although they do deserve a great amount thanks, are not the only people that keep America running. Each person within our country has civic responsibilities that must be done to keep the country steaming in a good direction. From voting to volunteering and from running for office to running a school, people must come together to make a great country. Although the people’s civic responsibilities are not written into the constitution, each person’s responsibility is import and citizens must learn what their particular responsibility should be.

When I first thought about my civic responsibility, I made a mental list of what my time, talent, and treasure were. Because of college weighing a heavy tax on my treasure, becoming a monetary supporter of the community was not my correct path. I also am not a “hands on person” and emotional interactions are not my strong suit either. I have talents that I can give. I can lead and organize groups to help the community.

I want to join organizations like Key Club to volunteer my time, but I also want to use my talent to mentor high school programs. The best way to help people and grow the community is through children. I enjoy engineering and feel as though I can use it to help young students, intern helping the community. With my skills, I want to help support pre-engineering and other preparatory programs for high school
