Scared. Unsure. Excited. Mostly afraid. That is how I feel, for someone who is growing up on it. I'm not sure where the next four years are going. I think the candidates are also scared. I'm not sure of the world I'll be dumped into, or of the world I'll be dumping my children into in the next twenty years.
