I voted!!!

I am pretty proud of myself; yesterday I voted in my very first presidential election! I know I am old enough to have this be my second time voting, but the first time around I was fairly unconcerned with anything outside of my own little world. I am still pretty overwhelmed by all the political discussions and really don't understand most of what is going on. But, I think that we are in a time when we can't afford to sit back and let other people make decisions for us. My vote may only be one of many and things may not go the way that I voted, but at least I did something instead of being a passive observer like usual!
