Political Autobiograpgy
As a child, I was exposed to a very meager lifestyle. My father was a college student through the years of my early childhood (1982-1989), and my mother juggled two jobs while taking care of my older sister and myself while helping put my father through college. We lived in subsidized housing for about seven years and received food stamps and welfare until I was seven years old. Life was hard for us, but we managed to get by and make ends meet. I witnessed, as a toddler, the effort my parents put into trying to make us happy, but they never mentioned or acknowledged the fact that we were literally POOR. My father worked as a grocery sacker while my mother managed to hold down two jobs and have side jobs to help feed the family. Matters never got any better in the Banda family until my dad had graduated from college and had a "real" job. The years that followed were significantly better, but that never changed the fact that my parents were never big on politics.

The Fourth Commandment in the Bible states, "Thou shall NOT kill. Other issues I touched were jobs that were lost, and how Americans were hurt by this dilemma; those people no one pays attention to because they choose not to vote because they feel they nor their struggles will be heard. As an entering college freshman all these issues should be a major decision breaker for me, but they are not. I think voting is the easiest form of speaking your mind. As I am getting older, I learning that my parents will not always be there for me to make my decisions, and I am going to have to start making decisions and choices on my own. As far as school prayer goes, I believe my right of religious practice should be allowed anywhere, as long I am not harming anyone or interfering with someone else's beliefs. That is why I support President Bush's decision to not allow gay marriages and his belief that sexual preference should not be given special legal protection or standing in law. Instead, they continue to distribute food stamps and free health care to those who abuse the system. Commandments are like laws and should be followed, and if they are not, there are punishments. During my senior year of high school I had the privilege of having the "Teacher of the Year" as my government and economics teacher.
