Today I chaperoned Alexa's 7th Grade field trip to KidVention (KidsVote). Immediately I was informed that it's not "cool" to have your mom come on a field trip in middle school. But to be honest I really wanted to check it out myself! (But from a distance he, he)
Once I was there I was glad I didn't listen to my adolescent's complaining. Imagine 2500 kids chanting U S A! It's amazing how caught up you can get in debates and initiatives. These kids were so completely involved in the process. Alexa can't wait to vote "for real".
It makes me proud to be an American!
