Kristin took her first opportunity to vote very seriously. I am so proud of her for keeping informed of the issues and making her choices based on what she believes. Her grandmother was the Election Register for the county and I supposed it has been ingrained in her the importance of voting. I believe that today's teens are more conscious of importance of voting have witnessed the events of 9/11 at a young age. I know that Kristin cares about the future of this country. I believe that we all should feel that way and go vote, it's your civic responsibility. I hope that I have influenced someone to vote.
It was a primary that she voted in and the voter turn out was extremely low. All the poll workers made a big deal of her casting her first vote and gave her a round of applause, she wasn't embarrassed as I would have been she loved the attention!

Good for Kristin. I love to see young people getting involved and taking a stand. I am having a hard time believing that the next presidential election after this fall, my daughter will be voting in. Just what happened to my little baby.
I remember my first vote!!! OH to be young! Great LO! I need to add you to my blog list man I keep forgetting you!
Kudos to you Lisa for encouraging others to exercise their right to vote. It is so important - and everyone has a say! I wish all young people took that responsibility and privilege seriously!
very cool! and how funny they clapped.
That's a fabulous story! My kids have only ever seen us vote from afar and because I've been overseas since I was 21, I've only ever voted from afar (except the very first time) so I think I would make just as big a deal about the act of voting:).
