Because I watched my grandfather get up every morning long before the sun ever thought about rising so that he could put in a long days work spackling and hammering away the poor conditions at school for troubled boys and because I witnessed the farms of so many families taken out of their hands, I believe strongly that the rights of the working men and women of our country must be protected.
Workers make America function.
They are an integral part of society and their concerns should be of importance to us all. It is this basic belief that guides and motivates me. I m a senior at Miami University and have spent the last four years studying the fields of political science and journalism. I have taken courses on political theory, international human rights law, the political structures and dynamics in the United States, Latin America, and East Asia, news and feature writing, copy editing, ethics in journalism, and am currently enrolled in an editorial writing class. I am scheduled to graduate in December and hope to find a job that incorporates both my beliefs in the rights of the working class and my fields of study.
