When one thinks of Peyton Millea they could think of anything from National Honor Society president, to competitive cheerleader, to Mock Trial president, to student councilor.

  • Summary Of Profiles In Courage By Bernie Sanders

    624 Words  | 3 Pages

His political career in its entirety has focused plainly on the greater good of the American people. Never has he given his fellow politicians the gratification of putting themselves, or their careers, first. In politics today, world-weary candidates have succumbed to their moral and ethical convictions, doing no matter what it takes to win.

  • My Interest In Presidential Elections

I would really be only interested about politics when the presidential elections would be going on, and that’s only to see who’s going to win.
