it was drizzling

Four years ago I was a junior in high school and I longed for the day I would be old enough to vote. I saw history being made with the election of Barack Obama as president. This was in 2008. It is now 2012, Barack Obama and Mitt Romney ran against each other.

Yesterday, November 6, 2012, at around 5:30 pm I walked to my old elementary school one block from my house and cast my vote.
After voting I received a small slip of paper that I will save as a remembrance of my first voting experience.

Barack Obama was re-elected.
