Scholarship / 'accused of a petty crime' - SCHOLARSHIP BILL OF RIGHTS & ME! [3]
REVISED VERSION! PLEASE READ OVER!!
_________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________
I don't have personal liberties. Despite my democratic upbringing in America, my parental guidance has tied me strict principles and totalitarian ruling. I have the pleasure of being a student by day, employee by afternoon, and maid by night. Sure, I am able to form my own ideas, choose my own clothing, and speak about whatever I please, but I don't feel like a real citizen. However, like the founding fathers I am ready for rebellion and freedom.
I know to not expect the romanticized depiction of college that I see on T.V but it is a place where I will have full reign to express my ideas. I will be able to explore my interest in art, history, writing, and genetics more freely. Not only will I have the ability to feed my personal interest, but I will be exposed to new ways of thinking.
The Bill of Rights was originally not created for me. It was not created for my family either. The Bill of Rights was created by a group of men who wanted a democratic America, but they failed to include my people. In fact it took more than two centuries, a proclamation, and an amendment before my people were freed. However, once I am no longer home-bound the 300 year old document will guarantee the protection of my life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.
