The Right To Choose

I, as a student, should have the right to choose whether I want to go to school or not to go to school without getting in trouble for truancy. That should be my right to make that decision without consequences for my decisions. I am writing about this because in the long run it will either affect me in a bad way or a good way.

If I choose not to go to school then it’s more than likely going to affect me in a bad way. It will affect my future, for it might be harder to get a job, pay bills, or live an easier life. If I choose to go to school then I am going to have an easier, more successful future than I would if I had chosen not to go to school. That is a right I think I should have as a student.

Freedom of Speech

Our country is blessed with many different rights. The most important one to me is our freedom of speech. To me, that is the most important because it’s good to hear and know what other people think and feel. It is important to and for everyone to say what you think and believe in everyone has there own opinion. I as a citizen have the right to speak my mind. The purpose of this right is not to put someone down or to hurt their feelings but to express yourself and your rights in a positive and appropriate way --without being offensive, hurtful, or bringing someone down. That’s not the way we as citizens should represent our right to freedom of speech.
