When I stepped out of the voting booth on Tuesday, I was glad that I had done my civic duty of voting for our next President. I felt a sense of pride and accomplishment, because I believed that my voice was heard and that my vote was worthwhile to the election. I have not been a politically active person up until this point in my life, but I definitely felt the necessity to do my part in enacting change for our country. Afterwards, I interviewed three people who had also finished voting and asked them a few questions to see what they had to say about the campaign elections. It was fascinating for me to hear the different thoughts and opinions that came from these three people. They were each affected by politics in different ways. One woman was in a committee that campaigned for Darfur, another woman campaigned for her presidential candidate, and the man that I interviewed owned a business in NJ and it was being affected by the poor economy. After seeing such informed and active citizens, I hope to become as political as these adults.
