Script (If you can't understand)
My strengths were that I hadn't given away my hidden agenda and I was able to buy food, electricity and a house in the game. My weakness was that I wasn't very involved and didn't say or do much.
To improve myself I had to speak up and actually do the things on my hidden agenda.
This simulation made me realize that politics is a whole confusing thing and that running a country can come with difficulties.
An experience that shocked me was how competitive everyone got and how serious they took it and I've learned that in politics when they have elections that they can get that competitive. And something else to add was how sly Jake was in the house of commons when he was fooling people. Elijah was also one of those people too slyly making money.
I understood that laws have to be really specific and detailed so people don't find loop holes. the government is a serious matter and they don't joke around with their jobs, also they try and make everyone happy even though we all have different goals in life like our hidden agenda.
This has prepared me by kind of giving me an idea of the upcoming challenges in life like taxes and finding a job. Also it gives me the information on how people could act in the government.
I found everything hard, frustrating, and depressing and upsetting because I couldn't quite grasp my hidden agenda and debate against others in the elections which made me really upset, also not everyone was taking each other seriously so we could all find the same ground but they all wanted to go their own ways.

This article connects to when Elijah was finding loopholes in the laws that were made for buying food asking people to make donations more than what the price of food is. That's why I've realized that laws are and have to be specific.

This connects to civic mirror because there was a vote of non confidence for our PM Nathan when he had wanted to pass the dictatorship bill, it was voted down and then started a whole confusing situation. But also it was said that our PM Nathan had not made that bill but his party member Jake had. It had also turned out to be that Jake was a liar and a deceiver.
