- Emily Flood: Today is the first time I'm voting,
and I'm very, very excited.
A lot of times, the younger people don't vote nearly as much
as older generations.
And it really-- It's disheartening to me,
because we're the people who are gonna be impacted
by these decisions in the long run.
So I try to talk with my classmates
about how, when it comes down to it,
the people who we're electing now
are going to be the ones making differences for our future.
So it doesn't make sense for us to wait until we're older
to start getting involved and to start thinking about issues
that are going to affect us
because they already affect us right now.
I want to make decisions now
that are going to impact my generation
for years and years to come.
