I'd like to think that my choices matter. In fact, I'm absolutely positive that most of them do, at least in regard to my own life and those around me. It is important for me to choose what I eat, how and when I exercise, whether I do my work, what classes I take, etc. These decisions impact my life and affect my overall contentedness. My future profession (something I am currently working towards with my choice in classes and work ethics) will hopefully affect others around me in a positive way. I do not agree with this Kingsolver quote which suggests that no matter what I do, I am just a small part of a larger world. I would like to hope that my choices mean something. 

In regards to the election, one person's vote is not a deciding part of an election. However if a large number of people believe that their vote does not matter, the polls would be deeply affected. In a situation like this, people must ban together to for their choices to mean something. These votes and choices are important; they are the building blocks of an overall decision that will have great impact on the world.
