During my Autumn break, I had the awesome opportunity to travel to Paris with my host family.… Read the rest
En route to Chicago, on July 31, 2014, is where I completed my first election ballot.
I hurriedly filled out my absentee ballot for my vote in the Michigan Primary, and handed it to my parents as I stepped out of the car at the Detroit Metro North Terminal.… Read the rest
