What is a good citizen? I believe a good citizen is really on the ball. They pay their taxes and bills on time, they are aware of activities in their community and partake in being a "good neighbor". My idea of a good neighbor is some one who is very frienldy or some one who would help an old lady across the street or volunteer at a preschool. The best way to find out about community activities is through a newspaper. My perents would always tell me, ever since a was a child, "You know, Mark you should really start reading the newspaper. It improtant to know whats happening in your government and community". Now at that time i was only 12 or 13, so what they told me i just brushed it off. But now that im older and understand more about whats going on in our country, i wish i had read the newspaper more often as a child. It would have been a good habit to get into.
