What I did?

       I chose to complete my community service hours by participating in political activities through Politico Club. Politico Club allowed me to experience first hand of how political activities are organized. For example, the several voter registration drives that Politico Club volunteer organized allowed us to observe how political groups arranged drives and encourage citizens to vote. It is also gave us an exceptional insight on how political committees, which include the Democratic National Committee and the Republican National Committee, are managed. What we did to organize the voter registration drive at Boulder Creek was setting up a table at the entrance to the football field and advertise what we were doing. Unfortunately, when I volunteered for the voter registration drive many people had already registered, so we improvised and advertised the DVUSD Over Ride. I advertised the Political Panel at another football game, by placing most of the flyers, with others, on the cars in the student parking lot.

            I gained more community service hours by participating in the Political Panel by moving furniture and organizing the stage where the candidates will debate. This experience allowed me to to comprehend why debates are so important and why candidates should take them seriously. Unfortunately, the panel was only attended by two candidates, both of whom are Democrats, and had a low audience turnout. I received the last of my hours by attending an Anthem Home Owners Association meeting. The meeting allowed me to observe first hand how a professionally organized political meeting is run and what they discuss about and why they discussed the certain topic. The HOA meeting I attended discussed a new multipurpose building, a performing arts center, and maybe building a downtown area in Anthem.
