Adults are not the only ones who have opinions about the upcoming election. Students have strong feelings, too. Young people are getting involved now, especially at the high school age about their future president.

“I’m excited because I think it could go very well but I’m also worried because some unsavory candidates have gotten pretty far like Trump for example,” freshman Ella Mozier said. ” I personally am rooting for Bernie Sanders, as I think he has very good education plans that will be good for the country.”

Many heated battles about who will win and what will happen to America have taken place just about everywhere. Even schools. This coming election has very interesting candidates from Donald Trump, a celebrity, to a woman, Hillary Clinton.

Freshman Sydney Thurlow is looking more into what Donald Trump has to say for the future of America.

“I think Trump will build a wall to keep the immigrants out,” Thurlow said, “and he will make some not so smart choices.”

Thurlow also thought that if she were old enough, she would vote. But it wouldn’t be for Trump. She is also interested in watching all the debates going on.

“Every vote counts, I think Donald Trump will win, but I wouldn’t vote for him. Interesting topics come up over (the debates) like Isis and oil problems and things like that,” Thurlow said.

However this election turns out, it will affect the future of America greatly. After finishing up eight years in the office, Barack Obama’s service will be over as President.

“I think it’s time for a change of pace in the White House, hopefully it will be a good change,” sophomore Emily Linder said.   

The primary election started with the Iowa caucus and ends June 14 in Washington D.C. In South Carolina, Republicans are voting on Saturday, Feb. 20, and Democrats will be choosing the following Saturday, Feb. 27.
