I had long been against voting because I thought my vote was worthless. I still believe there's large amounts of corruption in the system. However, something snapped inside me and I realized I have no excuse to not make an effort to make a change and stand for what I believe in. A vote is minor, but I've no excuse not to vote. But it's more than that, I want to do more. This next year of my education I'll be looking more than I have ever before to make a difference, and hope that I can inspire others to do the same.
