The First Amendment and the five rights we were given

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

      What the First Amendment means to me is no one has the right to censor you. We as people of the United States have the right to challenge the world around us and give our opinions. We have a right to our beliefs and should always stick by them.
     After going over the First Amendment in my photojournalism class, I remembered that we learned this in junior high school. However, I had forgotten it because I didn't think it was that important. Now that I'm in a photojournalism class and the Arts and Entertainment editor on the Owens Outlook newspaper, I realize just how important and precious these freedoms can be.
