9) In 50 words or less, explain why you want to be a public servant.First, each of us has the responsibility to serve where we can. Second, freedom doesn?t just happen. It is up to each of us to ensure it is fought for, protected, and handed on to those who will follow. In that light, I suppose I?m in this for my children.
