1) First of all I would like to maintain a high gpa which will only happen if I earn a high grade in this class. 2) I would also like to learn more about the political process that occur in Washington D.C. 3)I want to know what to expect, in terms of laws and politics, once i'm out on my own without someone to tell me what to do and when.

My three goals for Government class are: To do good on all of my tests, turn in all homework on time, and pass the class with an A. My goals for my senior year are: Most importantly get good grades, break the basketball games won record, and just have a safe and fun year.

In my response to the question of what my three goals are in government, they would include: Earn a B or better on all tests, pass the entire semester with an A, and learn more about how our government actually works. My goals for senior year would be: Earn a gpa of 3.5 or better, go to state track for a 3rd straight year, and of course, have fun.

Thank you- Alden

What I hope to accomplish in government class this year is to get an A in the class. I would also like to learn more about politics, so when I can vote I can knowing that I was informed while doing it. Lastly I simply want to learn more. I will work hard to get all of these things accomplished in class this year.

The three things I would like to accomplish by graduation are to maintain my GPA, graduate in the top three in my class, and to show the under classmen that I am a good role model. I am very proud of my good GPA and would very much like to keep it the way it is. Graduating at the top of the class is very important to me not only because in elementary and some of middle school I struggled in school and by graduating in the top of my class it will really show how far I have come. I think being a good role model for the under classmen is important because seniors are the leaders of the school. These goals are important to me and I would very much like to accomplish them.

The first of three things that I would like to accomplish in this class is to learn how government works better than i do now. Secondly to learn the roles of certain positions in our government. Third I would like to learn what it takes to become active in our government. Before graduation i would like to accomplish raising my gpa, getting a higher rank in my class, and to get to know more people in the high school.

The main thing for me in this class is not to fail. That's the most important goal. Another goal is to understand the whole business of American Government, how it works and who the main characters are. I also like to know as much as possible about the presidential elections in 2008 and the candidates.
By the reason I don't graduate this year, I didn't set me any goals to accomplish. I just want to do well in my Junior Class year and want to be able to look back and say that it was a great year.

1. In this class, i want to gain greater insight on how our govt. works and who runs it behind the seens.

2.I also want to get an insight on the process of bills being passed and going through legislation.

3. i also want to speak to any member in the higher political roll of our govt.

1. While i'm in my last year of school, i want to experience new things that i havent ever done.

2. i also want to meet new friends and people outside of our community.

3. the last thing is to just enjoy myself before the burdens of being out of the house and on my own bear down on me...as they have done for everyone else.
