First Quarter Reflection

This quarter in AP Gov, I learned about a lot of the functions of the government. The biggest thing I learned that was new to me was the reach of the government. Our government is way more involved in my daily life than I thought. The influence it has on the world around me is huge. I also learned about the specific roles the sections of government has and how there is a specific system for deciding who manages what, with a lot of overlap. This class has taught me to keep up with current events also. I usually never pay attention to the news because it depresses me, but having required blog posts keeps me in the know and helps me stay up to date with what is going on in the US and abroad. I love the study guides, they really help me plan for studying. I am a very meticulous person and I enjoy doing things like filling out the study guide. Going forward, I expect to be still challenged by forcing myself to stay up to date with current events. Hopefully this will form a habit in the future and I will do it without even thinking.
