Today at work the radio was discussing voting and one of my residents turned to me and asked, "Who are you voting for?" I told her Obama and she got excited and said, "Thats who I'm voting for!!" I asked if thats who her mom was voting for as well (because her mother dictates most things in her life) and she responded that she didn't know who her mom was voting for. That made me really happy because if she is voting - I didn't want it to be only because someone influenced her. I'm not saying she wasn't influenced though - She might have heard Dawn being giddy and pro-Obama for the past few weeks at Quail Roost. A few other residents are voting as well. I'm really happy they feel motivated to participate.
