Hi! I'm Heather. I am a wife, a mother of 4, work part-time and am a full time student. I am currently enrolled in an American Government course, it is a required class and it is a 1000 level course. With that being said, this is the class that scares me the most! I have veryh strong opinions about everything but usually keep my mouth closed when it comes to politics. For a couple of reasons; I feel like there are people that are incredibly passionate about their views and are unwilling ot listen to another point of view, so why bother speaking?; there are people that know SO MUCH about politics that my two cents sounds ignorant; and the people that know just as much about it as I do se we just share a smile and find something else to talk about!
So while this class scares the living daylight out of me, I am also really excited at the possiblity to learn enough about the American government to be able to understand it and confidently hold my own in a conversation!
Please pardon my "simple" talk in these first few posts, hopefully I will soon be a lot more intersting, informational and you might just get a laugh here and there!
