Not your usual 18th birthday
By on
Murphy M. is both a high school senior and volunteer for the campaign leading up trainings and phone banks. Tomorrow she is going to see President Obama in Orlando.
I'm the envy of my entire family because I'll be in the crowd when President Obama visits Orlando tomorrow!
I've never been to an event with the President so I don't know exactly what to expect, but I'm excited and looking forward to meeting other supporters.
I wish my entire family could come with because they're totally IN for 2012. I mean, my niece had a combined party with President Obama this year because they share the same birthday.
My birthday this summer involved President Obama too, but in a slightly different way.
That's because I spent my 18th birthday volunteering for the campaign in the Orlando office.
Everyone thought that was a pretty big deal, but to me it just seemed like a good way to spend the day because I enjoy volunteering and it was fun to bring one of my friends with to help out.
I was glad my friend came with because I think we need more people my age getting involved now.
Every vote my generation casts is going to change what the world looks like, so nobody can afford to sit on the sidelines.
