This last weekend Michelle and I got up early and went to the Democratic Headquarters in San Carlos. Michelle and I met up with four of my students from Ms. Berry's Government class. Juana, Arnulfo, Joseph and Karen. We were trained in about thirty minutes on how to register people to vote. As we were being instructed, so many others started to trickle in to the point where the training room was standing room only! How exciting it was to see all different ages from all different walks of life using their Saturday to help others! We went to the Sequoia Station Safeway, set up our flag, put on our Obama T-shirts and started to inform many that Monday is the last day to register.
For the most part, we encountered many positive people, but each student had at least one negative encounter with someone about Obama, democrats, and other political issues. I was so proud of these students and they represented Sequoia proud. I was very happy to be a part of it.
