Everyone has experiences with art and it's all its forms. Sometimes I feel my life was destined for it from the start. Both my parents delved into the arts in their youth. My father, was a break-dancer. Heavy in the Hip-hop scene he was one of the best B-Boys in Chicago (His words, not mine). He even went on tours with local rappers and was known for his explosive moves and difficult poses. My step-mother was also involved in the Hip-Hop scene, but also delved further in different arts. One of her first jobs was at a photography studio, where she developed and learned a lot about photography. She also was a camp leader in graphic design classes for youth in her early 20's. And not only did she break-dance but also took a hobby in gymnastics for 10 years. Like I said; its in my blood.

Speaking of our Bloodlines. If it's not apparent in my everyday appearance I come from a fully Mexican family on both sides. I could go on for days about my culture and all the history of it but I want to focus on a cultural event coming up for me soon: a Quinceanera. A Quinceanera is a HUGE blowout party thrown for a girl on her 15th birthday. Quince parties are like weddings. Extravagant and over the top. A Quince is usually thrown to celebrate a girl coming into womanhood. Historically, Mexican societies would throw a ball for all the girls turning 15 that year to present them to society as females ready for marriage. It almost reminds me of Bridgerton, but make it Mexican. Nowadays, teens mostly just have their party with all their (excessively large) family and their friends. Some girls even choose to have their quince as a trip. Friends of mine have gone to Columbia, Paris, and all over the world. Wherever the party is held and no matter how big the Fiesta, it is a landmark event in a lady of my cultures life, that we all look forward to.

When I think of art, I immediately think of my favorite form; literature. More specifically literature in musical form. Since my first time listening to music, I was sure it was what I wanted to do with my life. In fact even now, I am a part of a singing group here at Hinsdale South, and have a guitar that I play regularly. Music has always been one of my favorite forms of not only art, but therapy. It allows me to express how I'm feeling without the guilt or shame attached to some emotions or some situations. It allows me to be truly me and fully present for all that I'm feeling. Music is surely a career field I will pursue, even if it's not my main day job.

Throughout life there are many things we learn as we grow older. Politics is one of these things. We hear about it everywhere, in schools, media, the dinner table, but it isn't until we grow and start thinking for ourselves that we truly  discover our own beliefs. As you can see in the article above, my current town, Darien, is fairly democratic. Though that does not mean our town is anything short on conservative families.

Throughout my life my dad has always been my biggest educator. In fact, at one point in his life he was working to become a senator. My dad grew up in a low-income family with seven other siblings and working parents. So it's no surprise that from a very young age, he had to find his own way in stepping into the world. At age 19, he joined the Marines and took the liberty and opportunity in learning the politics of this world. But seeing my dad through all these phases of life, I would say allowed me another perspective in seeing things in life. I would be lying if I said my dad never effected my political views, but as I've grown older I've understood how my dad has allowed me to make my own choices. From giving me material to watch or study (Like the news channel above) to just having discussions with me on everyday politics and how they works, my father has given me and arsenal of tools in navigating even just education in general. Even to today, you can find him in his office watching news and events, taking notes, and later discussing them with the family.

Most of my family is heavily Christian. So faithful in fact, they'll believe they can pray and all their problems will be solved. I used to believe in god too (Until later events I'll discuss) but one of the main reasons is, I just stopped going to church. In growing up moving around I was exposed to many different religions and beliefs. When I moved with my mom at age 6 I lost a lot of my culture and religion. Not because she was not religious or cultured but because she simply never talked to me about her values.

# data[].attributes.body
America in general is one huge mixing pot of religions and cultures. However, as shown in the information above the majority of our region are christian, "Seven in ten Americans (70%) identify as Christian, including more than four in ten who identify as white Christian and more than one-quarter who identify as Christian of color. Nearly one in four Americans (23%) are religiously unaffiliated, and 5% identify with non-Christian religions."

The American Religious Landscape in 2020

Seven in ten Americans (70%) identify as Christian, including more than four in ten who identify as white Christian and more than one-quarter who identify as Christian of color. Nearly one in four Americans (23%) are religiously unaffiliated, and 5% identify with non-Christian religions.

The most substantial cultural and political divides are between white Christians and Christians of color. More than four in ten Americans (44%) identify as white Christian, including white evangelical Protestants (14%), white mainline (non-evangelical) Protestants (16%), and white Catholics (12%), as well as small percentages who identify as Latter-day Saint (Mormon), Jehovah's Witness, and Orthodox Christian. Christians of color include Hispanic Catholics (8%), Black Protestants (7%), Hispanic Protestants (4%), other Protestants of color (4%), and other Catholics of color (2%). The rest of religiously affiliated Americans belong to non-Christian groups, including 1% who are Jewish, 1% Muslim, 1% Buddhist, 0.5% Hindu, and 1% who identify with other religions. Religiously unaffiliated Americans comprise those who do not claim any particular religious affiliation (17%) and those who identify as atheist (3%) or agnostic (3%).

The Decline of White Christian America Slows

Over the last few decades, the proportion of the U.S. population that is white Christian has declined by nearly one-third. As recently as 1996, almost two-thirds of Americans (65%) identified as white and Christian. By 2006, that had declined to 54%, and by 2017 it was down to 43%. The proportion of white Christians hit a low point in 2018, at 42%, and rebounded slightly in 2019 and 2020, to 44%. That tick upward indicates the decline is slowing from its pace of losing roughly 11% per decade.

The slight increase in white Christians between 2018 and 2020 was driven primarily by an uptick in the proportion of white mainline (non-evangelical) Protestants and a stabilization in the proportion of white Catholics. Since 2007, white mainline (non-evangelical) Protestants have declined from 19% of the population to a low of 13% in 2016, but the last three years have seen small but steady increases, up to 16% in 2020. White Catholics have also declined from a high point of 16% of the population in 2008, and their low point of 11% occurred in 2018. It is unclear if the bump back up to 12% in 2020 indicates a new trend.

Since 2006, white evangelical Protestants have experienced the most precipitous drop in affiliation, shrinking from 23% of Americans in 2006 to 14% in 2020. That proportion has generally held steady since 2017 (15% in 2017, 2018, and 2019).

The Rise of the "Nones" Slows

Disaffiliating white Christians have fueled the growth of the religiously unaffiliated during this period. Only 16% of Americans reported being religiously unaffiliated in 2007; this proportion rose to 19% by 2012, and then gained roughly a percentage point each year from 2012 to 2017. Reflecting the patterns above, the proportion of religiously unaffiliated Americans hit a high point of 26% in 2018 but has since slightly declined, to 23% in 2020.

The increase in proportion of religiously unaffiliated Americans has occurred across all age groups but has been most pronounced among young Americans. In 1986, only 10% of those ages 18-29 identified as religiously unaffiliated. In 2016, that number had increased to 38%, and declined slightly in 2020, to 36%.

Stability Among Christians of Color and Non-Christian Religious Groups

In 2020, around one in four Americans were Christians of color (26%). This share is relatively similar compared to that in 2016 (25%) and has grown only slightly since 2006 (23%). Individual groups of Christians of color, including Black Protestants, Hispanic Protestants, Hispanic Catholics, Black Catholics, Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Christians, multiracial Christians, and Native American Christians, have shifted by single percentage points between 2006 and 2020.

The share of non-Christian religious groups has also remained steady between 2020 (4%), 2016 (4%), and 2006 (5%). No non-Christian religious group has grown or declined significantly in size since 2006.

Demographics and Diversity Among Religious Groups

Young Americans Are More Religiously Diverse

Americans ages 18-29 are the most religiously diverse age group. Although a majority (54%) are Christian, only 28% are white Christians (including 12% who are white mainline Protestants, 8% who are white Catholics, and 7% who are white evangelical Protestants), while 26% are Christians of color (including 9% who are Hispanic Catholics, 5% who are Hispanic Protestants, 5% who are Black Protestants, 2% who are multiracial Christians, 2% who are AAPI Christians, and 1% who are Native American Christians). More than one-third of young Americans (36%) are religiously unaffiliated, and the remainder are Jewish (2%), Muslim (2%), Buddhist (1%), Hindu (1%), or another religion (1%).

The proportion of white Christians increases proportionally as age increases. Among those ages 30-49, 41% are white Christian, as are half of those ages 50-64 (50%) and a majority of Americans 65 and older (59%). These increases are offset by sharp declines in the proportion of religiously unaffiliated Americans in each age group. While more than one-third of Americans under the age of 30 are religiously unaffiliated (36%), that proportion drops to one in four (25%) among those ages 30-49, to 18% among those ages 50-64, and to only 14% among those ages 65 and older.

The proportions of Christians of color and non-Christian religious people feature more modest shifts. While the numbers are small, African American Protestants make up 8% of Americans ages 65 and older but only 5% of Americans under the age of 30. By contrast, the proportions of Hispanic Protestants, Hispanic Catholics, and adherents to other world religions are significantly higher among younger Americans than among people over 65.

Americans ages 65 and older are the only group whose religious profile has changed significantly since 2013. Among Americans 65 and older, the proportion of white evangelical Protestants dropped from 26% in 2013 to 22% in 2020, and the proportion of white Catholics dropped from 18% in 2013 to 15% in 2020. By contrast, the proportion of religiously unaffiliated seniors increased from 11% in 2013 to 14% in 2020.

White Evangelical Protestants are the Oldest Religious Group

White evangelical Protestants are the oldest religious group in the U.S., with a median age of 56, compared to the median age in the country of 47. White Catholics and Unitarian Universalists have median ages of 54 and 53 years old, respectively. Black Protestants and white mainline Protestants have a median age of 50. All other groups have median ages below 50: Jehovah's Witnesses (49), Jewish Americans (48), Latter-day Saints (47), Orthodox Christians (42), Hispanic Catholics (42), Hispanic Protestants (39), religiously unaffiliated people (38), Buddhists (36), Hindus (36), and Muslims (33). In the youngest groups, one-third of Hindu (33%) and Buddhist (34%) Americans and 42% of Muslim Americans are in the 18-29 age category.

Since 2013, the median age of most religious groups has increased slightly, with the exceptions of white mainline Protestants and Jewish Americans. The median age of Black Protestants has increased most, from 45 in 2013 to 50 in 2020. Other groups with substantial median age increases include Hispanic Protestants (from 35 to 39), white evangelical Protestants (from 53 to 56), Latter-day Saints (from 44 to 47), Hispanic Catholics (from 39 to 42), and Hindu Americans (from 33 to 36). Other groups have remained steady or increased in median age at a similar level to the country as a whole (from 46 to 48).

The median age of white mainline Protestants and Jewish Americans has decreased over the same period. In 2013, the median age for white mainline Protestants was 52, and in 2020 it was 50. Jewish Americans have decreased in median age from 52 in 2013 to 48 in 2020.

Hindu, Unitarian/Universalist, and Jewish Americans Most Likely to Have College Degrees

Educational attainment varies considerably across religious groups. Majorities of Hindu (67%), Unitarian Universalist (59%), and Jewish (58%) Americans have four-year college degrees or higher. Four in ten or more Orthodox Christians (48%), white Catholics (42%), and Latter-day Saints (40%) also have at least a four-year college degree. More than one-third of Muslims (39%), white mainline Protestants (37%), Buddhists (37%), and the religiously unaffiliated (36%) have at least a four-year college degree. Three in ten white evangelical Protestants (29%) and Black Protestants (29%) hold college degrees, while one in five or less Jehovah's Witnesses (20%), Hispanic Protestants (17%), and Hispanic Catholics (15%) do.

Race/Ethnicity and Religious Affiliation

A large majority (71%) of white Americans identify as Christian. Half (50%) are Protestant, including 23% who identify as evangelical and 27% who are mainline Protestant. Another 19% are Catholic, 2% are Latter-day Saint, and less than 1% each are Jehovah's Witnesses or Orthodox Christians. Most non-Christian white Americans are religiously unaffiliated (23%), with 2% who are Jewish and less than 1% who are Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, or another religion. Compared to 2013, white Americans are slightly less Christian overall (74% in 2013) and more likely to be unaffiliated (22% in 2013).

Black Americans are also mostly Christian (72%). More than six in ten (63%) are Protestant, including 35% who identify as evangelical and 28% who identify as non-evangelical Protestants. Seven percent of Black Americans are Catholic, while 2% are Muslim and 2% are Buddhist, 2% are another religion, and 1% are Jehovah's Witnesses; less than 1% identify as Latter-day Saint, Orthodox Christian, Jewish, or Hindu. More than one in five (21%) Black Americans are religiously unaffiliated. More Black Americans identified as Christian in 2013 (79%) and fewer said they were religiously unaffiliated (16% in 2013).

Three in four Hispanic Americans (76%) identify as Christian, and half (50%) are Catholic. About one in four (24%) identify as Protestant, including 14% who say they are evangelical and 10% who identify as non-evangelical Protestant. About 1% or less identity with other religious groups. About one in five (19%) are religiously unaffiliated. As with Black and white Americans, more Hispanic Americans identified as Christian (79%) and less as unaffiliated (18%) in 2013.

Asian American and Pacific Islander Americans are as likely to be religiously unaffiliated (34%) as they are to be Christian (34%). The Christian subset includes one in five (20%) who are Protestant (10% evangelical, 10% non-evangelical), 10% who are Catholic, 1% who are Latter-day Saint, and 1% who are Orthodox Christian. Three in ten (29%) Asian or Pacific Islander Americans belong to a non-Christian religion, including 11% who are Hindu, 9% who are Buddhist, and 8% who are Muslim. Less than 1% are Jewish, and 1% belong to another religion. There are no significant differences in religious affiliation in 2013 and 2020 for AAPI Americans.

A majority (55%) of multiracial Americans are Christian. More than four in ten (41%) identify as Protestant (including 23% who are evangelical and 18% who are non-evangelical), while 11% are Catholic, 1% are Latter-day Saint, and 1% are Orthodox Christians. Two percent of multiracial Americans are Buddhist, and 1% each are Jewish, Muslim, and Hindu. Another 2% affiliate with another religion. More than one-third (34%) are religiously unaffiliated. There have been no substantial shifts in religious affiliation among multiracial Americans since 2014.

Six in ten Native Americans (60%) identify as Christian, mostly comprised of 47% who are Protestant (28% evangelical, 19% non-evangelical). An additional 11% are Catholic, 1% are Latter-day Saint, and 1% are Jehovah's Witnesses. Two percent identify with another religion, 1% each are Jewish and Muslim, and less than 1% are Hindu and Buddhist. Nearly three in ten Native Americans (28%) are religiously unaffiliated. There have been no substantial shifts in religious affiliation among Native Americans since 2013.

Republicans vs. Democrats: White Christians and Religious Diversity

Both major political parties are majority Christian, with 83% of Republicans and 69% of Democrats identifying as Christian. The biggest difference in the religious makeup of self-identified Republicans and Democrats is the proportion of white Christians compared to Christians of color and the religiously unaffiliated. Two-thirds of Republicans (68%) identify as white and Christian, compared to 39% of Democrats. Among Republicans, 29% are white evangelical Protestants, 22% are white mainline Protestants, and 15% are white Catholics. Among Democrats, those numbers fall to 9%, 16%, and 13%, respectively.

By contrast, 13% of Democrats are Black Protestants, 10% are Hispanic Catholics, and 4% are Hispanic Protestants, compared to only 2%, 3%, and 3%, respectively, among Republicans. Nearly one in four Democrats (23%) are religiously unaffiliated, compared to 13% of Republicans.

The religious makeup of Democrats generally resembles that of younger Americans
ages 18-29, who are 27% white Christian, 26% Christian of color, 7% another religion, and 36% unaffiliated, and ages 30-49, who are 40% white Christian, 32% Christian of color, 4% another religion, and 23% unaffiliated. The Republican breakdown is more akin to groups of Americans over age 65, who are 59% white Christian, 20% Christian of color, 4% another religion, and 14% unaffiliated. Notably, no age group is as white and Christian as Republicans.

Shares of Religiously Unaffiliated Increasing in Both Parties

Shifts since 2013 in the religious composition of both the Republican Party and the Democratic Party follow a similar trend: a decline in the share of Christians and a corresponding increase in the share of religiously unaffiliated Americans.

Among Republicans, most of this decline is among white evangelical Protestants, who have declined from 37% of the party in 2006 to 34% in 2013 and are now down to a low of 29% in 2020. Other groups of white Christian Republicans have not shifted quite as dramatically. White mainline Protestants made up 22% of the party in 2006, reached a low of 18% in 2018 and rebounded to 22% in 2020. White Catholics declined from 20% in 2006 to 17% in 2013, and have remained relatively stable since that time, making up 15% of the party in 2020.

The share of religiously unaffiliated people among Republicans has increased dramatically. In 2006, just 4% of Republicans identified as unaffiliated. That proportion more than doubled to 10% in 2013 and continued to grow to 13% in 2020.

The Democratic Party has seen a slight decline in the share of Black Protestants and an increasing proportion of religiously unaffiliated members. In both 2006 and 2013, 18% of Democrats identified as Black Protestants. Starting in 2017, that share began declining: from 17% in 2017 to 15% in 2018 and 13% in 2020. The share of unaffiliated Democrats also more than doubled between 2006 (9%) and 2013 (22%). From 2013 to 2018 (28%), the share of unaffiliated Democrats grew slightly each year, before dropping to 23% in 2020. The decline in unaffiliated Democrats from 2018 to 2020 is offset by an increase in white mainline Protestants (12% in 2018 and 16% in 2020), consistent with the overall trend of increasing white mainline Protestant affiliation among all Americans.

Survey Methodology

American Values Atlas 2020

The 2020 American Values Atlas (AVA) is a project of PRRI. Results for all demographic, religious affiliation, and political affiliation questions were based on 50,334 bilingual telephone interviews (including 35,212 cell phone interviews) conducted between January 7, 2020 and December 20, 2020 by professional interviewers under the direction of SSRS. National results for questions on specific issues are based on a subset of 10,052 telephone interviews (including 6,981 cell phone interviews) conducted in 10 weeks spread across the year. State level results for questions on specific issues are based on the national subset plus an oversample of 10 key states in 30 additional weeks, resulting in 23,536 interviews across all 50 states plus the District of Columbia (including 16,848 cell phone interviews). Key states include Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, New Mexico, Ohio, Texas, and Utah. The survey was made possible by generous support from the Arcus Foundation, the Evelyn and Walter Haas, Jr. Fund, the Gill Foundation, and Unitarian Universalist Veatch Program at Shelter Rock.

Throughout 2020, at least 1,000 interviews were completed each week, with about 700 interviews conducted among respondents on their cell phones. Each week, interviewing occurred over a five- or six-day period, starting Tuesdays or Wednesdays and going through Sunday or Monday. The selection of respondents within households was accomplished by randomly requesting to speak with the youngest adult male or female currently living in the household.

Data collection was based on stratified, single-stage, random-digit-dialing (RDD) of landline telephone households and randomly generated cell phone numbers. The sample was designed to represent the total U.S. adult population from all 50 states, including Hawaii and Alaska, and the District of Columbia. The landline and cell phone samples were provided by Marketing Systems Group.

The weighting was accomplished in two separate stages. The first stage of weighting corrects for different probabilities of selection associated with the number of adults in each household and each respondent's telephone usage patterns. In the second stage, sample demographics were balanced to match target population parameters for gender, age, education, race and Hispanic ethnicity, region (U.S. Census definitions), population density, and telephone usage. The population density parameter was derived from 2010 Census data. The telephone usage parameter came from an analysis of the January-June 2018 National Health Interview Survey. All other weighting parameters were derived from an analysis of the U.S. Census Bureau's March 2018 Current Population Survey.

The sample weighting was accomplished using iterative proportional fitting (IFP), a process that simultaneously balances the distributions of all variables. Weights are trimmed so that they do not exceed 4.0 or fall below 0.25 to prevent individual interviews from having too much influence on the final results. The use of these weights in statistical analysis ensures that the demographic characteristics of the sample closely approximate the demographic characteristics of the target populations.

Table A1 shows the sample sizes for all 50 states for the sample. Table A2 shows sample sizes for religious affiliations in the report. The margin of error for the total sample is +/- 0.5 percentage points at the 95% level of confidence. The design effect of 1.3 is included in the margins of error. In addition to sampling error, surveys may also be subject to error or bias due to question wording, context, and order effects.

American Values Atlas 2013-2019

The 2013-2019 American Values Atlas (AVA) is a project of PRRI. The complete 2013-2019 dataset contains 453,822 interviews. The survey was made possible by generous support from the Arcus Foundation, the E. Rhodes & Leona B. Carpenter Foundation, the Evelyn and Walter Haas, Jr. Fund, the Gill Foundation, and Unitarian Universalist Veatch Program at Shelter Rock.

Each year, at least 1,000 interviews were completed each week, with percentages of cell phone interviews increasing over the years to 70% in 2019. Each week, interviewing occurred over a five- or six-day period, starting Tuesdays or Wednesdays and going through Sunday or Monday. The selection of respondents within households was accomplished by randomly requesting to speak with the youngest adult male or female currently living in the household.

Data collection was based on stratified, single-stage, random-digit-dialing (RDD) of landline telephone households and randomly generated cell phone numbers. The sample was designed to represent the total U.S. adult population from all 50 states, including Hawaii and Alaska, and the District of Columbia. The landline and cell phone samples were provided by Marketing Systems Group.

Weighting processes were identical to that described above for the 2020 data using the most recently available National Health Interview Survey and Current Population Survey.

Table A1 shows the sample sizes for all 50 states for the overall 2013-2019 dataset. Table A2 shows sample sizes for religious affiliations in the report. The margin of error for the total sample is +/- 0.2 percentage points at the 95% level of confidence. The design effect of 1.4 is included in the margins of error. In addition to sampling error, surveys may also be subject to error or bias due to question wording, context, and order effects.

County-Level Model Methodology

PRRI worked with NORC to use the American Values Atlas survey data from 2013-2019, which includes interviews with random samples of 459,822 U.S. adults (ages 18 and over) to generate county-level estimates for each religious affiliation in 3,142 counties in all 50 states, plus the District of Columbia, using a technique called small area estimation modeling. NORC has developed and implemented small area estimation models on a number of key projects for government and social science surveys. The estimates have varying measurement error based on the size of the county and the number of surveys completed in each county. Smaller counties have larger measurement error.

The small area modeling approach for this project modeled weighted survey estimates of each religious affiliation by county and year. Since the distribution of religious denominations are correlated across time, the small area model captures county-level correlations across time via a time-series component to improve estimates for the most current year. Furthermore, the model incorporates external auxiliary data (that is predictive of the distribution of religious denominations) at the county-level from the 2014-2018 5-year American Community Survey. The best set of predictors for each religious denomination was selected using a variable selection approach known as LASSO. Model-based estimates for each religious denomination and county were generated using a standard small area estimation approach referred to as "Empirical Best Linear Unbiased Prediction". Finally, model-based estimates for each religious denomination were generated for all counties in the U.S., not limited to counties with survey data..

Endnotes

All respondents who identify as Christian are then asked: "Would you describe yourself as a 'born again' or 'evangelical Christian,' or not?" Respondents who self-identify as white, non-Hispanic, Protestant and identify as born-again or evangelical are categorized as white evangelical Protestants. Respondents who self-identify as white, non-Hispanic, Protestant and do not identify as born-again or evangelical are categorized as white mainline Protestants.

It's no secret big tech has taken over our lives. When I was younger I remember tv's and their little antennas, watching telenovelas with my abuela. As everyone has felt (and especially my generation) big techs rise, i feel I have had some more personal expirences with each new wave a big tech.

When I was younger (around age 4 or 5) my mom gifted me her old iPod shuffle. Which seems like a super young age to give a child a device but, when you think about the device it was, it seems comprehensible. An iPod shuffle, for those who don't know, is a small device with no screen only a play-pad and a charging/headphone jack. It came pre-loaded with all your early 2000's and late 90's pop divas essentials. I wont lie when I tell you this device was the kick-start in my love for music. For this reason I will always feel this device was highly productive and I wish I still had it today. unfortunately, Apple discontinued the iPod shuffle, in 2017.

I was given my first phone when I first entered Middle school. I understand why I was given a phone when I was but I do feel like I was given it too early. I was given my first phone because, after the assault my mom wanted a way to reach me, especially because of the fact my mom was now a single mom in the military. I only feel that it gave me a portal when I was too young to navigate it. Left unsupervised with a device like that, I was able to spend all my time on it and was never corrected. Now, I have been off social media for a while and I am able to understand all of it's negative impacts on a child as young as I was.

Not only has technology made its way into our everyday life and everywhere you look; but it has also made its way into our classrooms. I remember when tech was first introduced in the classroom setting for me. I was in 6th grade and we had a cart full of tablets for all of the 6th grade classes. We shared with one other kid in a separate class and just used a different log in. Originally, we only used the tablets for our math class, we never took them home or were able to use them outside that classroom. Then COVID Hit. They gave us our tablets to take home and we continued to use them for the next year while at home. While this new invention allowed us to continue our education, it also gave way for more distractions and got us all addicted to a screen.  I see the issue even now, in the lunch room, at a dinner with friends, we are all addicted to our screens. It's a habit that I don't believe my generation will break. I understand that it allows for efficiency in classwork and allows students access to all the information we need, but it also gives way to distractions. I believe we need to have more technology etiquette for younger children so they grow up learning how to use their tech in a responsible way before learning all the social media and deep YouTube loopholes you can get sucked into

Growing up I moved around A LOT. When I was four my parents divorced and with my mother in the military, it was almost a requirement of my life. Throughout my life I have lived all over in all different types of neighborhoods. From military base to low-income housing; From city to suburb, but all these places taught me something meaningful. I was born in Joshua Tree, California and from there lived in Chicago, Indiana, South Carolina, and several towns in Texas.

# data[].attributes.body
I was born in Joshua Tree, California but spent most of my first year alive (As well as every summer) in Twenty Nine Palms, California with my Grandma. As you can see it's a very small town in what I like to call the middle of nowhere dessert. My favorite part about visiting now is climbing up and sitting on my grandmas roof around sunset, all the houses around are one story so you can see the whole town and all the mountains surrounding it.

I am really disappointed that my daughter''s teacher -whom she loved so much - was not allowed (per some policy) to give the parents of her students any kind of warning about the fact that she was leaving until the DAY she left. We received a letter that day...not the day before or anything... stating she was leaving. That''s it. No warning. So, I had an inconsolable daughter to deal with, and I was completely unprepared because I had no idea myself that her teacher was leaving. I then had to also deal with not knowing who the replacement would be until my daughter (again, the school did not reach out and make me aware of this) told me the teacher''s name. I received NOTHING from the school OR the replacement teacher informing me who was now teaching my child. I heard it from my child. At this point, as a parent, I feel like an afterthought in this situation. Teachers coming and going can definitely be a huge deal to a child, and our children were kept in the dark until the day of. Our Elementary aged children are the ones that have had to keep us in the loop, which is insane. Very very upsetting. Come on Timber Ridge, you can do better.

Utah on its Way to Banning Sex-Ed in Schools

The new bill, which has already passed state lawmakers, would ban public schools from teaching about contraception or sexually transmitted diseases. If it is signed into law by the governor, it will be the most conservative law in the country regarding sex education in schools.

This is the middle school I attended. As you can see it is a very small school ranging from Pre-K through 8th grade. Although the school offers no AP classes its student body performs well on state tests and graduates with average grades. I graduated from this school with high honors and in the top 8 of my graduating class.

Throughout life people go through many experiences that shape their beliefs. From age 6-8 I had a major experience that shaped my life for the better and worse. Around this time I was sexually assaulted by my then-step-father. Luckily my family was able to testify and put him in jail. He was served the maximum sentence for his crime, 30 years in prison. This event happened over 6 years ago but I still heal from the trauma of it today. This was another reason for my loss of religion. I used to believe that someone like this idea of god could save me from this horrid situation, but I feel it was my perseverance that got me through and continues to do so.

Though my dad has played a major influence on my view of politics, he has also let me make my own decisions at the same time. Ever since middle school he has said, "School will not teach you all the things that have occurred in this world, ask your Tia's and Tio's they will all tell you the same thing. It is up to you to educate yourself on the full picture. It is up to you to fact check and research these things for yourself, to better your knowledge, for you" and has given me the resources to do so. His approach to teaching politics has allowed me to come up with my own beliefs on matters. Even in our conversations now. I remember how, when the news of Ukraine hit, he sat me down and gave me a small professor like lesson on all the motives and events of the news and helped me understand what was happening in real time. I believe if I continue to use the books and authors, reports, and strategies in research my dad has taught me, it will allow me to make wise decisions in politics and stay educated on the current events of the world

That situation and more specifically the trauma of it all plays a big part in my beliefs and values of me today, especially in my relationship and responses to people in general. Though the situation had brought me a mass amount of heartache and pain, it had also in turn helped me develop confidence and strength. I believe that in better solidifying my beliefs as well as surrounding myself with others that share different experiences and beliefs, will allow me to further broaden my awareness and help me become a better person in general. I feel anyone who surrounds themselves with different perspectives would feel the same.
