Politics Aside: Leaders Will Lead

Politics Aside: Leaders Will Lead

I voted. The candidate that I voted for did not win, and I was frustrated about that for a short time, but I’m over it. President Obama will be the leader of our nation for another four years and I will support him as our leader. I don’t agree with all of...
