Opportunity to Become Engaged

In my family voting is very important, so as soon as I could vote my mom took me down to the polls. This year was the first year I could vote and in this class I learned how important voting is. I really wanted to go to Rock the Vote but I guess it was cancelled so I decided to do some homework and read about the candidates. I did not want to go vote when I knew nothing about the parties, so I looked them all up and read about what they stood for. I think this is very important and I am very glad that my mom made me go and vote because it pushed me to find out what all the parties stand for. This class and my family showed me how important it is to vote and find out more about what goes on in our community and our government.
