Elections - George Bush Sr.

The first election I really remember was when George Bush Sr. was elected.  I was no where near old enough to vote, but in an effort to each about the importance of voting in a democratic society, my elementary school held a mini-election.

We studied the major candidates and then made a decision for whom to vote.  We cast ballots in a ballot box and awaited the results.

I remember I was in the lunchroom when the announcement was made that our next president would be Bush.  I was proud, because I had voted for him.

I guess the students at Challenger School got it right, because the country elected Bush as well.
