Voting For the Future
Throughout our lives we make thousands of choices. From things as simple as what shirt to wear to how to solve the worlds problems. As we enter adulthood, the decisions we make become increasingly important to our future. We begin to make decisions such as where we want to go to college or what profession we will choose to pursue. Many of us don't accept our responsibility to ourselves and our society to choose our leaders. Instead people of older generations make these decisions for us because we don't choose to vote. These choices, that we don't take part in making, shape our future. So many of us choose only to talk about problems with current political issues instead of voting to make a difference. Change calls for action, not complaint.
