It I Alicia Hunt, 1992 Voice of Democracy Winner Alicia Hunt Alicia Hunt an 11th grade student of Purnell Swett High School was the 1992 Voice of Democracy Win ner of Locldear-Lowry VFW Post 2843 of Pembroke, N.C. The Voice of Democracy is a Script Writing essay of a patriotic theme sponsored by the VFW in our schools grades 10-12. She is the daughter of Mr. &Mrs. James E. Hunt Rt. 1, Pembroke, N.C. This is her essay:" As a citizen of an affluent society, are you prepared to meet its many challenges? On Janu ary 20,1961, John F. Kennedy, in his inaugural address told his fellow Americans, "Ask not what your coun try can do for you Ask what you can do for your coun try". Are we meeting these chal lenges? In an everchanging and di verse society, Americans should meet the many challenges through educa tion. Knowledge helps citizens be come useful members of society. Americans must be willing to excel in all aspects of education. It is the basis of challenges in school, the environment, economics, govern ment, and in moral values. First of all, a strong formal educa tional background is needed to meet America's challenges. Education should be obtained before any other goal in life because it is the backbone of any challenge that we face For example, a teacher with a master's degree in education receives a better psyingjob thana teacher witha Bach elor of Arts degree. With a higher degree, these individuals rise to the challenges in life by gaining stable positions in society. A formal education enables citi zens to take pride in their society and to get more out of life. Over fifteen per cent of high school students re ceive a college education. America is a nation that strives for I iteracy and intelligence, but to tower above other societies, America must maintain its status and surpass other ascending nations. For this reason a formal, education will motivate Americans to meet other challenges Next, environmental education is an important factor in meeting America's challenge. The environ ment we live in must be kept clean to i continue supporting a neaiiny popu lation. Pollution is an environmental factor that affects all people. We must become more knowledgeable on how to decrease pollution. Whether you live in urban or rural areas, pollution still exists. Natural beauty is destroyed each time our environment is harmed. Today, en ' Icooccqrsare taking pri ority over other issues. Americans are meeting environmental chal lenges by becoming more active in private organizations to better the environment. If we learn how to keep America environmentally sound, we can ensure a healthy future. Also, education in economics is an Ameri can challenge. A prosperous economy guarantees thriving rela tionships within the nation and with other nations. America ranks first among other nations in total eco nomic production. We decide whether to improve our economic standing, and we have the choices of working where we please and spend ing our income any way we wish. Our economy is a standard used to determine how well the nation is advancing. For example, America is now withdrawing from an economic slope and is advancing to its former economic superiority. Therefore, Americans must determine how they can contribute to improving the economy by learning more about it. If this happens, America will con tinue to flourish. Additionally, edu canon in government is critical in meeting America's challenge. This challenge first took root in traditions brought lo America by the English colonists. They wanted to learn more about "just and equal laws." We are becoming educated today on how to learn more about democracy in our government Abraham Lincoln aptly described such self-government as "government of the people, by the people, for the people." Democracy allows Americans to participate in the government in many ways. For example, Americans elect officials who will represent us to make politi cal decisions. Therefore, everyone plays a direct part in politics and learns more about governmental functions. Finally, if more Americans regain some of the moral values our Found ing Fathers had in mind over 200 years ago, this would better help us meet the challenges facing us all. .Americans retain these values in many ways. "In God We Trust" is printed on all money in the United States. This reflects our nation's pros perity through moral values. Our Pledge of Allegiance contains the phrase "one nation under God". An- , other moral value instilled by our government through our court sys tems is placing one's hand over the Bible. The Bible is a promise of honesty and truthfulness from an individual" The Coach s Corner by Dr. Ken Johnson "The NCAA Football Champion ship" The Sugar Bowl at New Orleans will decide the championship this year. The game is a toss-up between Alabama and Miami. Both are UN Defeated. Miami is seeded No. I Alabama is ranked No.2 Alabama has a 12-0 record Miami is 11-0 on the season.
