On July 5, 1971, the 26 th amendment was passed. That amendment states, “the right of citizens of the United States, who are eighteen years of age or older, to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State on account of age.” I believe this amendment was passed to give young people a say about their future.

There are many major issues that need attention within our country and as president, you really have your work cut out for you. Although there are other important issues, I would like to voice my opinion on the issues that are quickly becoming more meaningful to me as I consider a career in the medical field. The rising cost of college and keeping the health care system private are major issues that must be addressed.

The next generation is supposed to go to college and make this place a stronger democracy, but it's way too expensive.

The cost of college is quickly going up and so is the price of gas. How are Americans, and more specifically, teenagers supposed to pay for it?

Our country making an investment in higher education for all who desire to obtain it will pay off many times more than we can even imagine. The focal point must not only be on today, but we have to look into the future of our country and the hands it will lie in.

How many questions can we ask the future president before we sound like a broken record? I think the answer is more than a few. There are many questions that I'm finding are unanswerable by the majority of the American public, so who better to ask than the new president? I have asked some questions that have been stumping me, and I hope to gain some insight from it.

As we prepare to elect a new president into office, there are many different issues that you will have to deal with during your four years. Whether it be resurrecting our economy, saving people's retirements, or keeping college prices affordable, your task is difficult.

All of the issues with the economy is really worrying me about my future.

In today's economy, where milk costs almost as much as one gallon of gas, how is it possible to live financially stable, let alone being able to afford the future?

Loans aimed at providing student's with a college education are becoming less and less available during this extreme economic low. Steps must be taken to ensure that people looking to continue their education are able to get the loans they deserve.
