Wow! I can’t
believe the semester is slowly approaching the end. Tomorrow’s date is November
6, 2012, which is also an important date to be locked in your calendar. It is
Election Day all around the world. I did not have the opportunity participate
in the early voting process so tomorrow I will be up bright and early letting
my voice be heard. I feel voting is so important because it gives freedom of
choice.
When I
was younger, I didn’t quite fully grasp the whole voting concept especially
since I couldn’t be involved. The only times I would hear about upcoming
elections was through adult conversations and seeing my parents watch debates.
I just always associated this time of the year with, “Oh, we are getting a new
president”.
The
fact that one decision that I have a huge say in will affect the world is
somewhat mind boggling. I guess it amazes me in a way. My world is full of
people I love, like my grandmother and other family and friends. The election
of our president, whoever that may be will make a difference to these people in
various forms. I love being a free spirit and I believe life is all about
making choices, or decisions. It helps you grow as a person because there are a
chance to rationalize and prioritize what is really important. The right to
vote lets you stand for something and for whatever reasons you like. Not only
is the right to vote help me realize how important my opinion is to society, it
also makes me stop and smile when I think of all the pioneers who paved the way
for our right to vote. Don’t let them down and don’t let yourself down. Go out
and vote!!!

Love this!!!! Yes being able to vote is very important and just having the opportunity to take part in the election means so much more. Years ago its hard to believe that we were denied the right to vote. People fought for us just so that our voice can be heard. They paved the way for us so we need to pave the way for the children!Jessica Broussard
