~:[CH14 - Day 57]:~  Letter of the Law

It's always a little stressful the day before the Black & Gold Meet. My mind goes over what I need to take care of and there is almost always something I forget to do. While my classes kept me occupied, I still went through the checklist of things I needed. In one of my classes, we were doing presentations on landmark Supreme Court cases. It was interesting to see them present their cases in their own way, but sometimes it leaves question marks in your mind of, "what were they thinking?" Still yet, it's nice that they put in the effort to think of something to make their presentation creative and umm, memorable. I think that this unit is one of the most important for them as they dive into their rights and the restrictions give to those who govern. With each case, we discuss their thoughts and it's interesting to hear what they think, as they express their thoughts and provide their concerns. I think it connects with them more, as some of these cases connect to experiences we are currently facing, as we can see that the constitutionality of some decisions may come into question in the near future. As we wrap up these presentations, I hope that these seniors will look at these cases and understand their rights and know how to take action when they feel like they've been wrong. Knowing the letter of the law is an important thing; something I feel that many do not know. In these trying times, I hope we pay attention to the law of this land and know our rights as well, as this knowledge may be invaluable when the time comes. We don't know what's ahead, but we can prepare and be ready for what's to come.
