Anyways, as it is election day, I wanted to reflect on my experience.
At school today, the conversation was buzzing with political issues. I had several conversations with friends, many of whom have different beliefs than I have. I just really hope that political opinions won't get in the way of friendships.
After school, I went to a church by my house to cast my ballot. I didn't really know what to do, but the people there were very friendly and helpful. I did think it was interesting how the candidates for county positions on the ballot did not list political party or if they were an incumbent. I had not heard of most of those people, so I sort of had to vote randomly on a couple.
Overall, it was a quick process that made me very proud. It's interesting to think that your vote affects who will be the next President.
