Before I begin, I beg, IGNORE my makeup free face. I rolled out of bed late this am, realized we were out of milk and cereal, so was forced to cook French Toast for breakfast...between that and getting the littles ready, there was no time for me to pretty up.
Ok, now that we have that out of the way, it was School Levy Election Day here in District 2. And that, pretties and gents, is a big deal. A huge deal in fact. If your school district was holding a levy election today and you didn't rock the vote, that's a big shame. For two reasons. First, our Founding Fathers gave us a right that most people in the world aren't afforded: free elections. For everyone. You get to have a voice. Thousands and thousands of men and women have fought and sacrificed and died to protect that right. And that's not something to take for granted. Second, it's for education. If our future generations aren't educated, then, well, we have nothing. Education to me is the single most important thing there is. Education brings understanding, tolerance, and a desire to help make the world better. It's a really, really big deal.
You see, friends, voting is important...especially when it's for schools. And I am SO HAPPY that I voted for schools today. And I hope you did too. And I hope that if you didn't, you think about doing it (and DO IT) next time. It's a pretty big deal...did I say that already?
