October is coming to an end and, in just a few short days, people everywhere will be casting their ballots. Votes will be counted and someone will be our president. When it comes down to who I will vote for, I believe that certain issues must be taken into account. The three issues that I’m most concerned with are social issues, the economy, and education.

I have been raised believing that every person has a right to love who they want to love. A person should be allowed to marry anyone, be they male or female. I have family members that have been unable to be legally married because a state considers their union immoral and illegal. I have seen them persecuted for being in love, a natural human connection. President Obama supports the rights of gay men and women across the nation to marry and that is one of the principle reasons why I want to vote for him.

As for the economy, unemployment rate is down to 8%, thanks to the Obama administration. The main issues at hand now are taxes and the debt. The problem here is that many people want results now and that just isn’t possible. President Obama has a plan that seems to be working; therefore we should keep him as our president.

Finally, President Obama wants to invest in education to improve standards and curricula. He supports and promotes the idea that good teachers can change students’ lives -which as a student I can agree with- and promotes their success. As a senior in high school, I will be off to college in less than a year. I want to know that I will have the opportunity to get affordable education and low interest on student loans, if Barack Obama is our president.

For me the choice is clear; reelect our president in November. He is doing a good job and has definitive and detailed plans, which seems to be something that particular opposing candidates lack.
