1) __Education-__ I think that education is an important topic. If people in our country want to have successful lives (especially with jobs), going to school is important. 2) __Health and Safety-__ Health and Safety is one of the most important topics. I think that everyone should have to have life insurance. I know that it's expenssive but maybe if the prices were lowered, people could have healthier and safer lives. 3) __Environment and Energy-__ Environment and Energy is a very important topic to me. We need to take better care of our environment because there will be better life and cause all around better lives.
 * Issues-**

My bill deals with education. I think that all students should start to learn a second language at a younger age. Learning to speak like people from other parts of the world can open up more opportunities for jobs and cultural experience. You could spread work ethics across the world and wouldn't be limited to America. Studies also show that it's easier for people to learn more complicated things when they are younger because their brains are able to absorb more. Learning to speak spanish or any other world language would become a lot more difficult when you start learning at ages 12 or 13.
 * HB 74**
