Attending this event had educated me more on South Carolina education system. It inspired me to learn more and attempted to change the world as I see it.
As I continue to explore politics and learn more about the world around me, I want to better understand the leaders who have the potential to shape South Carolina’s future. Learning more about Jermaine Johnson beyond his campaign videos gives me the opportunity to understand his values, goals, and vision for our state. I am especially interested in how his leadership could help build stronger communities and create positive change for the people of South Carolina.
I learned what Ambassador Rahm Emanuel, Jermain Johnson, and Sylvia Wright are supporting in their upcoming elections. For instance, one thing that definitely stood out to me was that Johnson stated he was in support of Trades being taught in high school.
I had the opportunity to serve as a tour guide for Ambassador, Rahm Emanuel, and South Carolina Representatives, Dr. Jermaine Johnson, Sr., and Syvilia Wright during Claflin University’s Fireside Chat. This experience was a meaningful reminder of the importance of representation, civic engagement, and creating spaces where leadership and community intersect.
