Political distinctions, circa Middle School
I wrote the following eight years ago. My mother took me to a presentation about joining the AP or IB program at Foothill. This was during the summer before. I was bored, so I wrote a political primer. My political savvy mostly came from playing Civilization: Call to Power. I mainly imagined if this were a team playing soccer because that is what I played.
In athletics, if there is a ____ on the team, you should _____
