My Rights As A Mom

If I could make a law it would be to have the right to deicide about the care of my child, even though I’m in the states custody. For example I should be able to choose my child’s doctor, day care, and how much I think he need’s to eat. When I think my son needs to see a doctor I should be able to get an appointment set up.


I think we should have this as a law because when your child is no longer in states custody you should be able to take responsibility as a mother. Practicing making these types of decisions now will help be more informed parent later. It is my own decision how I take of my child.

Civics, Rights, and Responsibilities

Civics is the study of what it means to be a U.S citizen. As a U.S citizen, I have freedom, rights, and responsibilities. I have the freedom to learn, which is protected in the United States. One of the responsibilities associated with this freedom is to attend school. I have to show up at school and to be respectful to everyone. I choose to act on the freedom to learn because I want to get a good education, so I can get a good job. I have the responsibility to support my family, and the only way I can do that is to have a good education.

I wonder if education is a freedom, why do people go against it and not attend school?
