<\/a>James Holland, Network Engineering Major<\/b>\n\u201cHonestly I think it is education reform. The way that education in this country is currently run is not sustainable for our country in the long term. We are educating and training children to the same standards we did 100 years ago\u2014for factory jobs that no longer exist in this country. We need to place special emphasis on STEM\u2014that\u2019s Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math education\u2014if we want to have any chance whatsoever of succeeding in the global economy in the coming years.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\u201cI think they need to address things on how to better us. They all say they want to change things and make the nation better, that\u2019s what Trump says. But I think trying to come up with new ideas isn\u2019t always the best thing because we can see in other countries like Finland and Poland and a lot of Europe that they\u2019ve already been successful\u2014like one of them is the happiest country on Earth. I don\u2019t understand why we don\u2019t want to try to follow in someone else\u2019s footsteps, instead of trying to be our own number one country. Definitely money [should be handled differently] because\u2026 I think we need to put it toward education and healthcare, as the top two. Every idea has already been made up, and if something has been successful for somebody, so maybe we could just take a look at somebody else\u2019s policies, and either do the exact same thing or branch off of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/a>Elyssa Kerlin, Occupational Therapy Assistant Major<\/b><\/b>
\n\u201cTruthfully for me the most important issue would be the LGBT rights and advocacy because I myself am pansexual and I am rather tired of being treated as a second class citizen. Also I think student financial aid is very important, which is the majority of the reason why I\u2019m going to vote for Bernie Sanders. Insurance coverage [for LGBT citizens] is definitely something I would like to see improved, housing loans, different things like being able to put a partner on your lease, because sometimes you can\u2019t technically do that, and they can deny you housing. I think that financial aid needs to be first of all available to everybody. I think that it shouldn\u2019t matter what social class you come from, everybody should have the ability to go to school, and if they don\u2019t have the money right now, they should have the ability to get loans.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/a>Lisa Lewis, Occupational Therapy Assistant Major<\/b><\/b>
\n\u201cI think the first and foremost is healthcare. I think that healthcare should be equal among everyone, so everyone gets the same kind of healthcare. I myself had to file bankruptcy, because back when I spent one night in the hospital, I racked up 10,000 dollars overnight. I had health insurance at the time through my job, but they decided not to pay, so I was stuck with the bills, and in the process, I wasn\u2019t able to refinance the loans on my house. I believe that healthcare should be equal for everyone. I think that\u2019s where they really need to focus, I think that\u2019s one of the areas. I\u2019m not really sure how to go about it, but everybody needs to contribute in some kind of way. Maybe according to the income bracket of what you make. If Canada can figure it out, the United States can figure it out. They just pay higher taxes. It\u2019s just a money-making business.\u201d<\/p>\n
