congratulations on your eighteenth birthday and your graduation! now what? well, you can vote in the next election. this will allow your opinions to be heard and reflected in our country’s government. you can look around your community and observe roads, parks, and public places with new eyes. you might notice improvements that could be proposed. or you might take a minute to pick up litter that someone else has left behind. as an adult, as a tax-paying citizen, embrace opportunities to contribute to the greater good.
