A Virgin Voter

In less than seven hours, voting precints all over the nation will open its doors for what is called the first automated election in the country. A lot of people are afraid of the election failing and some are praying for a successful one. And me? I really don't care.

I am already 27 and I have never exercised my right to vote and honestly, and unfortunately perhaps, I can't think of a specific reason why.

I have never been a fan of public office or the government. I think people only go to politics for fame, power and money. Really helping perhaps comes after everything else.

I just hope the next set of officers set true examples of leadership and the sincerity to help without being corrupt. That way, people like me will learn to appreciate a clean government free from corruption and broken promises.
