Student takes first vote seriously
Ema Williams, 18, of Kennedy Heights, voted for the first time Tuesday. She was also getting a lesson in her Public Issues class. She was part of a class taught by Craig Rush at Shroder High School. Rush said the class deals with local elections.
Williams admits that some of the issues were still hard to understand even after discussions in class. "I discussed the issues outside of class with other people. When I went into the voting booth, I thought seriously about what I was doing,'' Williams said.
But politics is not in her future. "I don't think I would ever run for office, but I would like to work in a campaign, for a candidate or for some issues. This helps you get in tune with what is going on around you.''
