Pro-Obama high school student

Girl pulled up in a bookstore parking lot with three large Obama 2012 stickers on her car. She has a 2012 button on her backpack , too. I gave her a big smile and told her I'm glad she's an Obama supporter. She told me she's a high school senior who spent the summer as an intern with the campaign. Said she loved the experience and her big issue is women's health. Of course, I complimented her on being such an informed and intelligent citizen! Her parting word - "Vote!"

I was really cool to meet someone that enthusiastic and that young! My daughter is a huge Obama supporter but, at 25, she's not "reeaally young" anymore!
