Today is the first time I'm voting, and I'm very, very excited. A lot of times, the younger people don't vote nearly as much as older generations. And it really-- It's disheartening to me, because we're the people who are gonna be impacted by these decisions in the long run. So I try to talk with my classmates about how, when it comes down to it, the people who we're electing now are going to be the ones making differences for our future. So it doesn't make sense for us to wait until we're older to start getting involved and to start thinking about issues that are going to affect us because they already affect us right now. I want to make decisions now that are going to impact my generation for years and years to come.
