I am a simple girl. I was born in Brooklyn, New York almost two decades ago, but I have lived in Texas for half of my life. I consider myself liberal and even though I did not have the opportunity to vote in the last election, I would have voted democrat. To be honest I was never very interested in government until my senior year, where I took AP Gov. and got a wider look of how government affects our lives. In my government knowledge quiz I had an average of a 70. Which would be considered okay, in the other hand I received an eight on my current event quiz. I don't usually keep up with current events, but my goal by the end of this class is to have a greater view on government from the past to the present.
