M3: ACTIVITY 1

Participation in the process of public policy for me, gives us a chance to be well

diversed both on the process, rules, policies, and the notions to be considered in

making a coherent policy that would initially addressed public needs and concerns. The

very main reason as to why, me as a political science student has an essential

participation on the public policy is because, i am a citizen and my insights matters.

Moreover, life as a student can feel pretty overwhelming, and addressing the major

issues facing in our society is definitely a hard task, but students like me still can find

ways to get involved and make a difference. One i always value is keeping up on issues

that are important to me, by keeping updated on the issues i shall get involved in small

ways with community organizations or school organization, i do have Political Science

Society that helps me a lot in getting relevant issues nowadays, and help me to

participate in many policy forum. Lastly, for me, passion should be treasured when

participating in public policy, One of the most difficult parts of getting involved can be

prioritizing those issues that are most important to you, but this step is essential.

Reading multiple newspaper articles, and spending your valuable free time volunteering

can be fun and engaging if you are passionate about the cause.
