Well, I'd like to get an A. I want to understand better why people involved in politics act the way they do. I also would like to refine my opinion, beliefs and views considering politics and government.

Well, I'd like to get all A's if possible. I want to leave my mark on the school (a good mark). Not that I need to be recognized but that the school is better because I did something to improve it.I also want to impact people's lives. Again, not so they will know who I am 10 yrs from now but that I was able to help that person become the most they can be.

The three things I want to accomplish in this calss are; to pass with a B or higher, remember what I learned the first day on the last day, and to better understand why our country works the way it does.

The three things I want to accomplish by graduation are; pass all my classes with a B or higher, get all the hours needed at work to get the credits needed to graduate, and start preparing for college.

In this class I want to pass with at least a B, learn more about our government, and learn about what all the people do to run our country.

By graduation I want to be passing every class I'm taking, know what college I'm going to go to, and know what I want to study in college.

I plan on having a lot of fun in school and after school before I graduate. I want to enjoy my last year of high school. I also plan on deciding for sure what I want to do with my life before I actually leave for college. I plan on applying for many scholarships for Iowa to go into the pharmacy program.

For this class first of all I would like to pass. I would also like to have a better understanding of the different types of government and what each of them do. finally, I would like to be able to use the info that I learn in this class elsewhere in my life.

As for a senior I want to graduate, pass with a good gpa, and enjoy it while it lasts.

I would like to pass government with at least a B average. I would also like to learn what the government does for my town and for my country. I know nothing about the government such as the chairs or ranks, so I would like to know a little more that what I do.
As a senior i have a lot of weight set on me by Mr. Heslinga, my mom and dad, and even myself. I would like to do this senior port. thing corectly. I would like to be looked up at by my classmates as a good person. Lastly I would like to pass high school with all my classes with atleast a B.
