Why NC Votes
Magnet senior Sydney Ma believes in voting’s imperativeness; as she heads into her first election as an adult, she looks forward to using her voice on a grand stage. Although Ma celebrated her 18th birthday just shy of one week ago, the student fully understands young people’s cruciality at the ballot box this fall. “I think [voting] directly impacts our government because it is one of our given rights as American citizens that we are able to participate in voting in elections. I believe that because we were given that right, all citizens should utilize it,” Ma said.

Teens and teachers often prioritize sleep less as they get older in an attempt to keep up with the heavy workload and assignments from school. Due to this lack of sleep, teenagers' mental and physical health suffer, but despite this evident need, teachers utilize the extra time students spend awake supplying work. By removing naps from the daily schedule–to minimize class time interruption and improve student focus – the lack of sleep does the exact opposite in showcasing teens’ decline in concentration.

Since the 1990’s, elected officials in numerous states have made unsuccessful attempts to lower the voting age to 16, sometimes even younger. A constitutional amendment to lower the US voting age to 16 would require approval from two-thirds of both houses of Congress and three-fourths of the state legislatures. Yet, the majority of Americans oppose this idea due to adolescents’ lack of maturity and knowledge of politics.

Sunsets boast a variety of colors, depending on the status of the environment, time of day and position of the sun. Light rays cause light scattering, causing different colors to shine through the clouds. Dust particles and pollution also play a role in how the sky looks when setting. These factors determine whether the sky will turn blue, pink and purple, or red, orange and yellow. “If it’s a darker color sunset, it makes me feel more of a relaxed feeling than a lighter sunset. When darker sunsets are really visible I just like to open my window and get stuff done while feeling at peace. Same with a light sunset, but it gives me more of a lay down, chill and listen to music feeling,” freshman Emily Ivers said.
