Election Day Tuesday

Election Day Tuesday. Not a catchy title but hey I am more than excited for November 8^th. Every Tuesday leading up to November 8^th this theme will counting down the days left to election (26 days left). October 11^th was the last day to register to vote. Back in 2008 when that day rolled around I was literally 6 months too late. Back in October 2008 I was only 17 years old.  Then, I was part of a small group of high school seniors that was too young to vote. And when I was able to vote in November 2012 I had two lectures and a four hour lab. The only thing I could do was sit at home and watch the results, fun times. Now I am part of another group of individuals who never had voted in the presidential election and I am not talking about those who just turned 18. I am talking about those who are in their 20’s who still have yet to vote.

This picture will be a great thing to have. It will be great not having to attend work or class to have the opportunity to vote. I feel now more than ever is the right time to vote. My mom has been beating this year’s election into my head for months now. She has made it my business to get registered to vote and to make sure I actually do go out and vote. She is dead set against Trump and wants to make sure that I get my voice heard this election period. She has put in a lot of energy watching debates (speaking of debates here is a link to the second debate) and seeing how the candidates are holding their ground. All I know is that if an inexperienced person is able to become president then why the Average Joe cannot become a lawyer without a degree and experience.

One of many blog sites to keep up on the events: Huffington Post. 

What do you think?

What do you think? This photo shows a connection between events. One being Clinton and the either being Trump. Depending on your views the picture can mean anything to you. I connect with the photo because it shows what our country could be years down the line. A prosperous country laid to waste because of a change in direction. No matter which candidate “floats your boat”, we are all facing an unsure future. The photo is like the seasons. They change over time and year after year we never know how bad a season could be. The focal point of the picture is a stream and some grassy area with a log. This reminds me of the eye of the tiger. It’s peaceful looking until you get to the background of the photo.

The background of the photo seems to be the storm. Trees are missing leaves. But beyond that part is a mountain with blue skies. Tells me that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. The tunnel meaning after their term is up. Or it could be a signification that there are worst things to come in the 2020 to 2024 election term. There was another photo of a leaf that was a golden yellow color. I also had some connections with that because of what it assembled. Fall time bringing a change and Election Day happening on Nov. 8^th . But I had a stronger connection to this photo of a forest because of what it signifies for me and my future with a new elected officials.
