In September, I saw Hillary Clinton. She was speaking at a grassroots organization in Portland, Maine, only 30 minutes from my school. Convinced of my need to be more involved (my political history consists of dinner conversations with my dad and stretches of following the news), I decided to attend with a few friends. We […]
