Do you know there were fifty-five delegates that arrived in Philadelphia around 1787, for a meeting which was known as the Constitution Convention. People were seeking protection rights for individuals against the government abuse. Wishing that they were able to provide political rights to all free men. Those who were able to have a decision agreed upon the election of George Washington, Commander to the continental army, the hero to American Revolution. With learning more about this you will get to fully understand more about the constitution and how it was created and used, to even understanding the Bill of Rights.

After passing time twelve states discussing and debating, They came out with a work out plan to a new blueprint. This solved many conflicts between small and large states to even the northern and southern states. The constitution consist of seven articles which were divided into three branches, The Executive branch, Federal and Legislative. Each branch has been created with a system of checks and balance. They can restrict the power to others and require them to work together.

So today my blog will be about American Government, There were some things that I have learned about this particular subject in class today. As for most I’ve just got back into school so learning all this again is a plus for me especially the 1st, 2nd and to the 3rd amendments….etc.. So lets discuss something very interesting, What is Government? Living in this world full of all laws, Wouldn’t you want to fully understand our Government ? I DO. The government literally controls your life and I say this because with one say the world can be on lock down, With the law telling us what we should eat or even to places where we can go. People can work their heads off for junk change because their checks will go all on taxes and all kinds of fees before even receiving a payment. You can not go out and do what you want because the law says it’s forbidden and I do not mean doing a crime because I am so against that. Look at what is happening now because the Government said ” YOU MUST WEAR A MASK IN PUBLIC AND IN STORES, OR BE FINED” what do you think we must do ? We must obey the law and do as we are told. I understand It Is for our safely but my point being is the Government always has full control.

Now there are some good things in our Government that shows some gratitude as I have also learned from self experience and reading. For one they help us with school pay, such as child care, lunches when needed, Colleges , public schools and so on. We even get health care also provided by the Government which is great, so you see It’s not all that bad. We have courts, lawyers, officers who work for the government but try their best in protecting us all, There’s always the good and bad with our Government. I’m sure people know that we may be in crisis but we are getting help by the Government.

I also learned that because of the Government public goods we can fish freely and drink fresh water, we also have public school education, Mail services and national security. Now if you read on this you can view that the toll goods provide Private school education, Cable Television, and Turnpikes. I was never the one to read about Government and politics or anything in that field, It is because of this college course that has me very focus and interested in learning much more. I look forward in reading and blogging more about things I will learn in this course hope you enjoy reading my blogs.

Got up this morning thinking I had classes today in which I DID NOT, funny right ? but that is ok. I still had to wake up early due to my kids having to do remote learning as well for their classes. My 4 year old would rather enter a school building and play with his friends, I’m sure soon enough he will fully understand why I chose fully remote as of now till further notice. Now with my 10 year old he rather not be in the school grounds, He says ” Home is better ” I guess they have different opinions with school, until then I think they off to a great start.

This virus completely changed our lives in a split second. It went from being able to hug and kiss your loved ones and friends, And doing large gatherings, to then fold into Quarantine, face mask being required, at one point curfew, and of course the 6 feet distancing. There were plenty of people who just was not able to follow these rules the government issued, In fact they chose to continue trying to live the life they had before this madness. Now I have noticed there are lesser cases in New York City and that is amazing if u ask me especially after the amount of deaths that unfolded. If we all work together we can beat this thing called Corona virus, It’s not welcomed here. I talk about this because as I wrote in my previous blog that I’ve contracted this virus and it was not pretty. We shall get through this set back and move forward much stronger.

Enough talk about this ugly virus right ! I hope everyone’s day is going great and you guys have a wonderful weekend. I remember the first day my classes began I was in Florida, Paused all the fun stuff and got straight to my schooling. Can you believe me if I shared to you I even did classes in the car with Wi-Fi , It was a long drive back home. See by me doing all this just to get to my classes shows me how responsible I really am as an adult. This is new for me and so far I love it, sorry if I bored who ever reads this but this is my life I will blog all kinds of things weekly, Yea my life can be very entertaining at the most.

This is my first year of college , very challenging due to covid so everything is online. I’m a mom of two boys who also are doing remote learning . Covid has changed everything but we will make the best out of this situation and continue to succeed. I know first hand how covid triggers your body sadly a few months ago I however was in contact with someone who had it and passed it to me. I like to talk about these things to help others somewhat understand more about what it does. This virus attacked my lungs my breathing was not good had me on the asthma machine almost 4/5 times a day, very horrible so please keep safe and wear masks. I am all better now and cleared from covid.

Now I like to share my experience in how I finally made it to college. First let me say it was not easy but yet I have made it passed all obstacles that were in my way. I was in high school and got kicked out over stupidly behavior following the wrong crowd. I then became a mom, I am now 30 years old and I can tell you that my kids changed me for the better in maturity level. I’ve changed from making young girl decisions to making wise adult decisions, and this is one of them attending college. I needed to study and refresh my memory and go for my GED exam, I managed to pass three but needed to retake 2. A GED you need 5 subjects to pass, I took the ones failed over and passed. Receiving my certificate in the mail was the happiest I’ve been and right away I applied to Kings Borough Community College. My goal is to have my kids proud of me and follow my steps in also graduating from college, they need to understand how important school is and I will be the perfect role model so show them.

I can see myself graduating with my babies right beside me. They definitely give me hope each day, I REFUSE TO FAIL. This is my first semester in being in college, so I’m trying to get familiar with everything. I am so proud of myself for not giving up and making it this far, I always say having kids does not stop your life in fact they make it better. I say that because of them my life is better, they made me become the women I am today. I was always the type of person to get work done fast and correct, I learned to never have it get pilled up. I know I will make it through college I have the ambition in me to do so.
