My Time Part 2

Today I made my words turn to action. Today I woke up at 8 am and for the first time ever I was a morning person. I woke up with more energy than I ever had knowing that by the end of the day a change would happen. As I walked in what was a beautiful fall morning in Ohio to go vote for my first time I was consumed by a feeling I can't even begin to explain. I was not just voting for myself, but for my entire family back at home in Puerto Rico whose voice is silenced as they cannot vote for the president. As I cast my ballot into the machine a guy next to me asked if it was my first time voting. Full of joy I said yes and he said he could tell and was glad to see someone so excited to be voting. Today my words became action. Today I became a force.
