| Patriots In The Park High School Winning Essay 2015 My Pledge to Freedom by Selena Perkins When you make a pledge, you are committing to a promise. In order for me to take advantage of my freedoms, I pledge to take advantage of all the rights of women, to work independently, and to vote in upcoming elections. Before gaining rights, women in the past typically were not allowed to work. They stayed at home and were expected to clean, take care of children and making sure they are as healthy as possible, and to make sure dinner was ready when their husbands came back from work. The life of women could be miserable and unfair. I pledge to ensure that my rights as a woman continue to grow toward true equality. I also pledge to help provide for my family by working a job outside of my home. In today’s society, families would fall apart without the ability to work with two incomes. My family would not have enough money to provide for our family because life is more expensive now. There would not be enough food for my family and I pledge to always work to give my children a better life than I had so they can live life without those worries. Finally, I pledge to vote. A powerful tool, voting has not always be available for women. Before the 19th century, women were not allowed to vote. This allowed men to oppress women. With my vote, I will also pledge to research to best candidates, especially our presidential candidate. This is my greatest tool to help change the problems in our country. These pledges are the way I will ensure that my freedoms continue throughout my life. I want to make sure my children can grow up in a free country where they can have the same choices as I have. |
