My daughter turned 18 last July, and she has registered as a Democrat. She is a freshman at a small liberal arts university just south of Columbus, Ohio. Today, she and her friends volunteered at a local animal shelter to help with cleaning and taking care of the pooties.
And tomorrow? She just texted me. She and her friends are going to A Future to Believe in Rally for Bernie Sanders in Columbus! I am so excited for her!
Daughter has challenged people all through high school and her first year of college. She was a prominent member of the high school club to support LGTB students. She has argued with conservative folks at church about a woman’s right to choose. Daughter holds her own against her Republican dad. She advocates for young women who are abused.
Daughter is majoring in Art Therapy and Psychology. She is still deciding how she wants to use her therapy degree when she is finished getting a Master’s Degree. For now? She thinks she wants to either work with young children who have been abused or older children with autism.
I am a very proud Mom. I am so happy to have raised a daughter that cares and wants to make the world a better place.
She better send me pictures of her day tomorrow!
