Democracy

My view on democracy.

Humans of May River

"I have been a part of the community since I was born, I've watched as it has rapidly grown throughout the years". With that "I would like to be remembered for supporting those in the community who feel they don't have a voice in our community."

Our Democracy

Volunteering in your community has to do a lot with democracy. When you volunteer you vote a lot for your community and how you want to live your everyday life.

Our democracy

This is a picture of me in Denver, Colorado on 1/22/21. This picture shows a feeling of being free and the background represents my future and all I have to still see and look forward to.

Democracy

These May River students are voting on who has to buy Starbucks for the group next. “All in favor of John raise your hand” Because of this vote, John has to buy Starbucks next. Although John is not in favor of himself, the majority wins the vote.

Democracy to Me

This photo is a picture of my friend working at school. This represents our right to an education. Our right to an education represents democracy and it's meaning. Published: November 17,2021

I am a tough cookie.

With her daughter going to May River, a good school that can teach you proper education, she has realized she is giving her the life she's never had. She is proud of what “she created”, and what the community influences is helping raise her daughter.

This student is one of many that love to wear there favorite sweatshirt to school. With cold mornings and chilly classrooms there is nothing like wearing your best sweater to keep you toasty while in class.

The Scary Truth of Democracy

The power of even one vote can sway the decision of all, half of the people will always be unsatisfied that is what terrifies me. Morality that respects democracy shatters then they the go against the fold with anger and rage.

Democracy

Friendship is democracy because we all have different opinions but still come together.

Our Democracy

True democracy is a great goal, of course everyone wants to have an equal say, but in practice there is still injustice. Not everyone has the same size straw, and some don't even have a drink, so to say.

Interviewing a person at May River High School

Our Democracy

Some may ask how this picture signifies democracy. To me its very clear. democracy to me is the freedom to choose what to do with my life and time. If I want to game and eat chips that is what I will do, and because of democracy I can do that.

Liberty and Justice for all

As some may stand for the pledge and others may just sit down. And few might even support, but still not get up, why? One’s opinions should not affect us, but how come we feel offended if one person doesn't share the same faith as we do.

"May River helped me realize I could pursue my dream career in art, my final I painted in my art 2 class got put in a art gallery. That made me feel like a real artist, and made me realize my five years of practicing was worth something."- DR

A beautiful night on the first night of my trip

Democracy to Me

Have it your way. This picture was taken in 8903 South Tryon St, Charlotte, NC 28273 in August 7, 2015. Democracy to me is how free we are, to go different paths and able to think differently, begin able to get a set limit only if we limit ourselves.

special project

my post is describing how my friend feels about the Mayriver community and what I feel demonstrates democracy.

Humans of May River

For the Humans of May River project I interviewed my classmate John B. He has been a student here for three years now and has shared with me his views on life as a student here. He has shared his likes and dislikes and how he sees the community.

Humans Of MayRiver

Democracy: A fragile strength in America

Democracy nowadays is a lot like this ancient A:shiwi pottery piece from 1050 AD: broken and delicate. Although it has gone through years, decades or even centuries of hardships, it has still stayed somewhat intact.

My Symbol of freedom represents us A:shiwi people, not everyone sees, hears, or knows about us Zuni people. Because of our Yaddokya Datchu, the sun, we have freedom.

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.

Humans of Sophomores - Luke Hernandez

I interviewed Luke Hernandez about how he became successful in soccer and the music band. He didn't want to do soccer when he was little but then joined it in middle school. He also joined the music band and is now doing both in high school.
