Importance of voting

Voting is very essential in our society today. There are so many things that happen in the world today that people either stand for or don’t agree with. In one of our Comp I classes, I had the opportunity to listen to a couple students talk about the importance of voting. A lot of people in our society today think that voting is not necessary and is a waste of time, but when it comes down to issues that they care about, they all of a sudden care about what the government is doing. I learned that voting truly does matter, and even though you may not care about all the issues of one certain thing, it’s important to still have your say. You can’t always rely on what other people think about someone in politics. You have to do your research for things that you care about in society, because other people may not care about the issues you are concerned about. This informational study was meaningful to me because I realized that my vote does actually count. It’s so important to get out there and vote because every vote makes a difference in who wins in elections. A lot of people just like to vote for the presidential elections, but people don’t understand that it is also important to vote for the smaller things, like governor and senators. Mayors are also very important to vote for because they control what happens in your city or county. Just the smallest little things like where a street or highway is built can have an effect on you, this is so important to be able to vote for a person that feels the same way you do about your society. I will remember all of what was said in class because I am eligible to vote. I think that the person talking to our class about voting was a very good idea. After they finished their power point on voting, they informed us about the days that registration for voting would be held on campus. This gives all students an opportunity to get involved in voting and having a say in their government and changes that may need to be made. If people care about the army and war, they should focus on voting for people that have the same view on war, like whether our troops should be sent out to fight, or come back home to their families. The importance of voting is rising in the world as we speak, and more and more people are starting to realize that in order for things to change they have to make a stand and find people that care, not just go along with what everyone else thinks about a certain person.

30 years from now

-It’s my first day of college in 2041; the alarm on my phone wakes me up and starts to tell me the things I have to do on my schedule. I yell out “lights on” in my dorm room, and the light turn on. Next thing I do is hop in the shower. When I get out the shower, I press the button on the wall to make me some coffee. A bell rings and my coffee pops out from a little hole in the wall (hot and fresh). My alarm on my phone rings again to let me know I have classes in an hour. As I get ready, I watch a little T.V. When it’s time for class, I get out my “class pad” and turn to the channel my professor is on (yes class at home). I fix my lunch by ordering on our lunch menu, from our dorm room walls. When class is over, I decide I want to go shopping, so I walk over to my solar car and driver down to the mall. There, someone a waits to escort me to all the shops I desire to go to. They tell me what the rest of my schedule is that remains, by getting it from my phone through Bluetooth. As my day continues I go to dinner with my parents. We eat lots of food, and when it is time to pay, the waitress comes out to our table and scans my father’s hand (bill paid for). When I get back to my dorm room I decide to call my friends and we video chat from my phone, that connects to my wall so I can see them on a big screen. As I get tired I change into my pj’s , and get into my bed. I yell out “lights off” and my light turns off. Then I tell my phone to set schedule for the next day. My phone then tells me schedule set, and I fall asleep.
