Dear Readers and Contributors,

 

I would like to take the opportunity to personally thank you all for the continuous love and support, especially through the pandemic. In just under 6 months, we’ve come so far; the magazine has been featured on Publish YOUth Writing and Poets & Writers, and the editorial team reached a whooping milestone of 100+ Advice Articles written! As we continue grow our global outreach, we’ve published over 280 creators from 25 U.S. States, 25 countries, and 6 continents across the world! 

 

It’s been a pleasure growing this community over the past three years, so I know I speak for the entire editorial board when I say we hold this magazine and our contributors close to our hearts. It takes a tremendous amount of research and effort to manage the magazine, which is why we're so thankful for all of your support. We encourage you to share our publications and Advice Articles to help our other young creators who may be interested in pursuing their craft.

 

Cheers,

Lori Khadse

The Constitutional Convention: A Speech

Written by Sanjana S.

 

My fellow delegates… We have all agreed that the people give the government its power. Without the people, the government is nothing. We all also share the belief of establishing a republic. Despite this, the controversy, over how influential the people’s voice should be, is existent. Many of us argue that the people are easily mislead, and unfit to have a say in the decisions of government, while others claim that the people would provide a sensible vote.

 

Though these are both valid points, we must come to a compromise for the best interest of our country.

 

We must have faith in the people, the citizens of America! If the people were to vote, they would elect a candidate who would do a fine job of running in office. Besides, must it be mentioned that the elected candidate would not have total control over the country? Though the elected official would play an important role, we must not worry over the people voting for the wrong candidate.

 

It is my belief that the people's voice should not be silenced. Though there will always be that once small group of entirely corrupt individuals, the general public will not fail us. Any other proposal brought forward will surpass, as long as the people play a part in the running of our government.

 

It is in the people’s best interest for the success of our nation, as well as ours. Their voice will ensure balance of power, and will prove to be beneficial to our nation.
