The theme for the Voice of Democracy Program was "My Voice In America's Future." Mrs. Juliet O. Brayboy. an En glish teacher at Purnell Swett High, advised Alisa about die contest rules. "MY VOICE IN AMERICA'S FU TURE" I love my great country! The patriotism that dwells withm me is a feeling of immense pride, a sense of belonging, and a special attachment to all the people who have been an important part ofrayentiretifc. The* things have made me aware of the fact that 1 must be a participant in shaping the course of ao great a na tion. It is exciting to imagine the marvelous opportunities that are available in Aaaerics's future--espe cially if we want to nurture that patri otic spirit Woodrow Wilson said, "I believe energiesofevery huauabemg." With thisidea in mind, it reminds me of the (act that even I shonld have a voice in America's future h suggests that all of us - no matter how small, can be a partaker. After all, our democratic society assures us that we do have many freedoaas We have freedom os speech, freedom of the press, so cial freedom, academic freedom, eco nomic freedom, freedom of rebgkm and the freedom to use our adeptaeas to full capacity. With so many possibilities, let's release some "energies" Now that 1 am charged and recognize my re sponsibilities as a democratic Ameri can citizen. I see clearly that my most important voice-is casting a vote in the ballot box oo all election days. My status as a student does not allow me to vote in local state and national elections. In preparation for the future, I am permitted to vote in school elections for special issues and leaders. It has been my plea sure, too, to serve oo committees and to hold an officer's position My goal is to become a registered voter and be a part of the total election process in foe near fature at age eighteen. I would also value foe opportunity of being a delegate or candidate for public office It will be an ambition to never neglect so great a challenge to express my choice for proficient leaders. After all, selective leaders and clever ideas will ensure foe continu ation of a superior country. Educa tion is one of the most important israee facing our nation today. Let the people apeak! Our country is so very diverse, it requires everyone to be a port of the process The needs are great and different. With joint efforts of all ethnic groups, we can compete worldwide.
