Reflection on election

During this mock election I learned a lot about the different candidates and where they stood for many of the main issues in the United States. I also got a better understanding of how important it is to vote so that ways you have a say in what you think is best for the country. Throughout class we talked about voting statistics, and how people don't vote as much particularly in eighteen to twenty five years old. This gave me a good chance to understand how important it is to vote.
I thought this was a really interesting project because I got to see and act out what it would be like to be a candidate in the elections. To me I liked how we did this instead of just reading about every candidate in the running for presidency. From the other students who were doing other candidates I could get information on them to if I wasn’t for what there opinions were I might change my mind after their presentation.
The only challenging thing that I had encountered was picking out what I thought was most important to my topic because economy had a wide variety of sub topics. I liked this project because to me it was something that I had never done before, and I was learning about something that was actually happening and could affect my future, depending on who is elected president. Before I had never really followed the elections just whoever won in the end. After this project I have been seeing who is in the lead and watching the standings more frequently.
