The First Amendment is freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of petition, freedom of assembly, and the freedom of press. So, how do I use the First Amendment in my everyday life? Well, I go to school. I use my right of freedom of speech to tell the lunch ladies what I want for lunch. If I didn't have a say so, they would be choosing what I ate. I also use the freedom of petition in a way. If I see a food I don't like, I don't eat it. In my opinion that is my way of "petitioning."
I also use the First Amendment in my classes. For example, in chemistry class when we work as a team; I use my freedom of speech to say how I feel about an issue we are discussing. If I couldn't use that, my group would make decisions without me and I probably wouldn't be too happy.
At home, I use the freedom of assembly basically all the time. If my parents do something that I do not like, I get my sister to agree with me. Therefore, I am using my ability to protest as well.
Finally, I use the freedom of religion everyday no matter where I am. What I believe in is it. Nobody can tell me to believe in a certain "God". I can believe in whatever I would like.
