Your vote matters, even though it may not seem like it because you are one in millions of people voting. Every vote is to be put towards the leader of our country; in saying this, you have an important decision to make, one that is in the hands of us. This presidential election seems to bring out very strong opinions for certain candidates. Every single one of us has the right to speak about our opinions of what is best for this country, so the best way to make your opinions matter and your voice heard is to go vote.
One thing I cannot stress enough about this election is to do your research and know what each candidate has to offer. We often get bombarded with the media throwing us information from all aspects that may or may not be true. The media is there to inform us, but there are also cases where they are there to manipulate our views of someone.Whether you are voting for Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, or a Third-Party candidate, it is important you know what their plan is for this country and what their viewpoints are on certain issues. As a young voter and this being the first presidential election I get to vote for, it is important for me to know what each candidate is going to do to fix the issues our country is facing. It is hard to dedicate your vote to someone who you are not too sure about. I do not know 100% on who I want to vote for. Like many Americans, I am undecided and our time is running out. This election has been quite controversial. Do your research, go rewatch the debates, and see which candidate you think is better suited to help our country. If you do not vote, you cannot complain on aspects of government such as taxes or education. By voting, it is your way of showing that you want change.
So before you go vote on November 8th, make sure you do not let anyone make you change your views on any particular matter. This is your voice, your vote, and your way to express your opinions on what matters to you and this country. As you step away from the polls, you should feel good about your decision.
