Feelings
I saw an article on npr about a woman who waited 96 years to vote for a woman for president. Her name is Estelle Schultz and she was 2 years old when women gained the right to vote. She talked about how thrilled she is to be able to still be alive and be able to take part in this by voting. They started a whole project with a website called "I Waited 96 Years", featuring women who were born before the 19th amendment was put into place. It really hit me after reading the article how monumental it would really be if Hillary does become president. This also made me realize how close election day is and it has me feeling extremely anxious because of how much uncertainty I feel over this years election. Not knowing who is going to be president on Tuesday night is really scary and I really can't wait for it to be over so people can stop arguing over it. Whoever does become president has so much work to do when it comes to how divided our country has become. It is so disheartening to see the hatred that this election has caused and how awful people have been because they can't respect other people's opinions.
