01, 02-Dec-09 Journal Reflection
No one is born a good citizen; no nation is born a democracy. Rather, both are processes that continue to evolve over a lifetime. Young people must be included from birth. A society that cuts itself off from its youth severs its lifeline. ~Kofi Annan, Secretary-General, United Nations

helping others
being involved with the community a good citizen first you have to be a good person. By that I mean that you have to be full of values, principles, ethics, etc. When joining all these aspects together you will find out that there is nothing else to be needed.
being a good citizen means helping the elderly, picking up trash around the neighborhood, wlaking by and setting an example for the younder youth. volunteering to help others and helping someone who you know doesn't have it all.
I would rate myself as a 7 1/2. I am a good guy.
I think that it should be the parent's role, but education teaches you how to cooperate and work with others. You have to put emotions aside and do your work. That is just like the real world. You leave things at home. Education teaches you how to get along and talk to others.
The American Dream to me is having power and a lot of money and respect. Obama has it right now. I think I will be able to live it. If I don't, my son will.
The community issues that concern me the most are violence and drugs, but I really say forget about drugs because that has been going on forever. We should focus on the violence. That can be stopped. you cannot laugh and shoot people or rape girls.
