American Governement 170:
Profile Paper: Hilary Clinton
When we first were asked to write about an American politicians, the first one that always come to my mind are Abraham Lincoln and Benjamin Franklin, because of all their achievement and characteristics as good politicians and charismatic human beings, but we need to write about a”living” politician of the nowadays United States.

For me she is a strong woman, fighting men’s political battles and trying to create a balance in her personal life as a wife and mother. To Write about Hilary Clinton, I went through her husband biography, former president Bill Clinton, and even her daughter biography: Chelsea Clinton.

Originally, in her 2010 U.S Senate campaign, she was all for Common Core, No Child Left Behind, as well as the Race to the Top. She thought that these were all great programs that were setting high standards for students. Now, her views have changed drastically.

As Catholics, it is imperative that we develop a conscience guided by the teachings of the Church that helps us participate in government. The Church has outlined moral issues that exist in today’s society and where the Church stands on these issues. The current presidential candidates have taken stands on these issues, but no candidate supports every Catholic viewpoint. Therefore, when deciding on a president, we must decide which issues have the greatest significance and can help society grow closer to God. We must also decide which candidate will support the common good and the dignity of the person.

Eventually, Clinton saw the violent and tragic effects of the Vietnamese War and decided to switch to the Democratic party for more anti-war views (Harris).

As I sat in the second row of my commencement ceremony, across the stage stood Michelle Obama, delivering her last commencement address as the First Lady of the United States. I was completely engulfed with euphoria as she talked about the essence of education, diversity, and resilience. During what I would call one of the most memorable moments of my life, the admiration I had for her was reaffirmed.
