This year I am finally 18, which means I am able to vote this year. Since it is my first year being able to vote it is pretty important to me. I always wondered what it would be like to vote and now I get the opportunity to do so. I believe whenever you vote for someone you should vote for the person who could do the best for the American people. You don’t just want to vote for anyone, you want someone who wants the absolute best for the people. This upcoming election we have a good bit of people running for president.  Before I choose I would like to know as much as I possibly could about all of the candidates. I would want to know what their goals and future plans are. Another reason voting is important to me is because it’s our American right to do so. People have fought and struggled for the right to vote so if you are eligible you should take full advantage of this opportunity.

Hillary Clinton is running for president this year and I don’t know much about her, but from what I can see she is a good candidate. Donald Trump is also running for president. I really don’t like him he publicly slandered Mexicans. I also don’t like his attitude and in my opinion he doesn’t seem like he would be a good president. In conclusion with this year’s election is very important because now that I am 18 I now have the opportunity to vote.
