The very first thing I did four months ago, after becoming a citizen (besides be a big ball of joy and emotion), was register to vote. I remember sitting in an Olive Garden in November 2008 with my freshman-year roommate watching Barack Obama get elected as the first black president of the U.S. Not only was it exciting that Obama was the first black president, but it was also exciting that my graduating class was able to vote in the election that caused such a monumental decision. Except I didn’t get to vote; I wasn’t a citizen at the time.
Exactly one year ago, I had to a make a pretty big decision. My green card was about to expire and I could have either renewed it for another 10 years or apply for citizenship.
Since I started working for Sound Publishing I have had to make the trek from Kent to Covington each morning, I have seen at least one reckless driver every single day. It’s come to the point where I am a little nervous driving to work. The main reasons I have noticed why drivers are being so reckless is because they are in a hurry (speeding and weaving in and out of traffic) or distracted (texting, talking, fidgeting with their radios).
Imagine waking up every morning and not knowing who or where you are. All you really remember is, you’re in your 20’s, with your whole life ahead of you. But when you look in the mirror, the 20-something you thought you were isn’t staring back. This is the reality for Christine Lucas, in “Before I Go to Sleep” by S.J. Watson.

hanks to the Affordable Care Act, everyone has to have health insurance or there will be a penalty. In 2014, I qualified for free health insurance so I didn’t have to pick a plan; it was done for me, thanks to the nice lady on the other end of the phone. It was a different story in 2015.
