Service Hours - Blog #3

Election Day at Herndon High School was interesting. I arrived with my parents at around 11 AM and the lines looked like they were dying down. My parents waited for about 15 minutes while I started helping out the other volunteers. I was surprised to see that there were no volunteers from Herndon High (at least for the time I was there). There were a couple older people and the Girl Scouts, but that was pretty much it. Voters were given the choice of using the machine or paper ballots, and most people chose the machines. I basically handed out flyers and stickers. It was sort of boring so I finished up my last couple of hours and left. But I’m glad I got the chance to campaign and volunteer for elections and to be a part of Barack Obama’s historic victory. :)
