I had the great opportunity to participate in the penn state club, "students for barack obama." In this club, we were asked to meet a specific objective of registering thousands of voters. After many hours of volunteering to help register voters, we managed to register a surplus of 7000 people with most being democratic. Our tireless effort was recognized and appreciated by the Obama campaign. I also had the honor of participating in helping to set up the event of Obama's speech at State College. It was a great experience listening to Obama in person, one that made it all worth it. The influx to the event was staggering, over 22,000 people had attended the event.
