Opinion

I felt that my opinion really mattered in the past presidential election. It was my first time being able to vote so I was very excited to express my opinion. I was also in a Political Science class during the past election months, so the upcoming election was basically all we talked about. A majority of the students in the class didn't have the same beliefs as me and a few others, so it was kind of fun to get into heated debates and see everyones point of view. If only one person would have shared their thoughts that class would have been incredibly boring, so it was important I let my voice be heard, along with many other people in my class. Not only did the class really get me fired up to vote and express my opinion, but one of my good friends who is a Poli Sci major really got me ready for the election. It's all he would talk about. Sure, it got a little old from time to time, but he really kept me informed and updated.
I think that everyone should vote, everyone's opinion matters when it comes to running our country. If nobody voted and everyone thought their opinion didn't really matter, we would get no where. If your not going to vote, you don't have the right to complain about the way its being ran, our president, or other little things.
