Democracy to Me

I think this photo represents democracy well because it shows many different people with many different viewpoints together. It demonstrates the freedom to choose and demonstrates different people coming together.

Democracy to Me

This photo represents democracy to me. In the photo, there are many students and teachers standing under an American flag. This shows democracy to me because there are people of many different backgrounds all coming together under an American Flag.

People of Wellsboro

"I'm proudest of where I am because I've just built up everything around me to just fit my own environment."

Democracy to Me

Democracy to me is different people voting for what they want as an individual.

Democracy to me

When I think of democracy I often think of people. I saw this yearbook sign outside of my school. This made me think of democracy because people (students) are able to purchase a book full of their classmates and teachers.

Democracy To Me

A lightsaber represents a powerful democracy.

Democracy to Me

This picture (a lit 3-wick candle) represents democracy to me because it represents the three branches of government. All three have to work together to keep the country running smoothly and they have to "burn" equally.

Democracy to Me

Democracy is represented in every person, no matter how much perceived power they have. Anyone can make a difference.

Democracy to Me

Democracy to me means having a choice. It means choosing what is best fit for yourself and what you like most. I took a picture of different movies being shown in a movie theater to demonstrate that there are options to pick from just like democracy.

Writing Project

Tioga county has many wonderful views and opportunities, but it struggles to provide good internet services for its community.

People of Wellsboro

I have always thought to myself something that terrified me. When you die, your name will once be said for the last time. I've had an epiphany that as long as you find people you are happy to be around, it will be a very long time until that happens.

Democracy to Me

Democracy to me is the ability to live in a country where you have freedoms guaranteed to you and are able to decide what we want to do thanks to the sacrifices of the men and women of this country who fought to protect our rights.

Democracy to Me

This photo represents democracy to me because to me the apple represents someone coming to this country and waving their new American flag proudly. It's a reminder that America is here for the people and new chances.

People of Wellsboro

I would love to be remembered as a person who is nice to others, who has a smile on their face, and doesn’t have a bad name.

People of Wellsboro

I never imagined what life now would be like as a kid, it's just not something I thought about. I guess the friends I have are different from the friend group I had when I was younger. I never would have thought I would be friends with certain people

Democracy to Me

This quaint house perfectly encapsulates democracy by demonstrating how citizens have the right to publicly support a candidate.

People of Wellsboro

“I would say the biggest influence in my life has been my dad because he didn’t start off with a great situation, or he wasn’t dealt a great hand when he was younger, and he turned that around and then he made it out of that situation.”

Issue of borough

Local sidewalk issue and possible solutions

Democracy to Me

Democracy is easily shown because, of the first 2 nations to go to space, the US is a democracy. To have a nation run by the people be the second people to space, and the first on the moon is a big representation of what democracy means.

Democracy to me

Democracy gives us the freedom to have opinions. These opinions can be critical of our own government and our country's history as well, and you will not be punished.

People of Wellsboro

“I want to be someone who impacts someone else's life in a positive way. When I meet someone, I want them to walk away from our meeting and think that I made their life better. I want to have a positive influence on the people that I meet.”

Democracy to me

Democracy to me means the ability to freely express ones beliefs and opinions. Democracy allows the average person to weigh in their opinions to inform or influence others.

Democracy to Me

To me, this photo represents democracy because each new day is an opportunity to make a change in our country. We people have this opportunity to govern ourselves and determine what is best for our nation, and each new day provides this prospect.

Sidewalk Disrepair

Story about local sidewalk disrepair.

People of Wellsboro

"I think a goal I have is to get closer to my siblings and parents. I want to stay with my family, get closer to them, and help them for as long as I can."

Democracy To Me

I think the American Flag is the largest symbol of democracy to me. It can be seen all over the country and it shows we have pride in ourselves. It reminds me of how much we fought for each one of us to have a voice and to be able to have a choice.

People of Wellsboro

"I would probably say my last little league game. It was my Dad’s last day coaching, and at the end we both kind of sat there. Kind of a bittersweet moment, but it was a nice memory regardless."
