HOLA! Let's Get Started! ~~ JoCelyn SiDa

Hey everyone my name is Jocelyn Sida but most people know be by Jocy or Josie. You can spell it both ways I guess. I am a 19 year old Mexican American. I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. I currently attend school in Wisconsin in a small town next to Lake Superior called Ashland.

On the day I turned 18, I registered to vote, and voted the first chance I had. As I went into the Bredding Community Center in Ashland, I had a smile from cheek to cheek. As I grabbed the ballot out of Mrs. Collins hand and went inside the booth, I could not believe that time had flown by and this was it, I was actually an adult now, and that this was how it felt like to make a difference, the feeling of satisfaction and joy and the feeling that you now actually could achieve anything... And I did it, I darkened the bubble and I did it, It was done. I was the 276th person to vote that day, the time was 1:30pm too, just thought you might want to know.

I'm a radio deejay for a Spanish radio show, and I am a fan of Juanes, whom is one of the many artists involved with Rock The Vote. His music has so much rhythm. Juanes has brought happiness to the lives of people in many nations-- not just the Latin countries but all those in the third world spectrum-- through his Latin music and his humble personality and devotion to his family. He has performed with Nelly Furtado in "Fotografia" and has performed inspirational music throughout his career. My favorite song is "La Camisa Negra."

As a Rock the Trail Reporter, I plan on connecting with young voters from all cultures. I hope to be able to provide a sound representation of the issues that matter to the Millennial Generation and to get more and more people to go out there and SPEAK OUT and most importantly VOTE!
