This is the main project of the semester in Joanne's class, It was the craziest, and most educative project I've ever been apart of. The main focus of this project is to educate future/present voters on who the candidates are so that they we can all make an informed decision on who we want our next president to be.
There is a problem in the United States where many people follow a candidate blindly purely standing by the candidates rhetoric. Many people don't take the time to actually research and learn their candidates position but instead go off of what the media or biased family and friends say. I was actually like this until this project, I learned much more about all 4 of the candidates and each of their stances.

Overall this project was very fun and I learned a lot about our candidates. It’s very saddening that most of the voters in our country are not properly educated in the candidate's plan so many people made skewed choices. Everyone should take the time to do the research on a certain candidate and shouldn’t just make choices off of what their friends and family say. Along with the election itself, this project was very stressful. It was really difficult to finish our video on time because I wanted to add so many things to it to make it even a little bit funnier. I was glad that I thought ahead and did the video on my personal computer so I could work on the video at home. I do feel as though I got a lot of work done, my peers didn’t get to do any editing because the project was on my computer. In the beginning I thought of this whole election as a joke, later though it started to hit me that these one of these two people are actually going to be our president. It is now November 15th and we all know who is going to be our 45th president, and honestly I am really scared. This project has provided me with so much information about each candidate and I can’t believe people actually stood by this man, nonetheless we can’t change it and I hope that he somehow proves us all wrong and ends up doing a lot of good for us.
