2012 Election...

This is what students of William Paterson University had to say about Govenor Chris Christie and my response to it.

“Even though he’s trying to help out, he still cut our students funding,” said Paulito Albea, 19, sophomore, criminal justice/sociology major, “That’s not fair that people with low incomes now have to find a way to pay for school and will be forced to take out more loans.”

“I don’t believe for what he stands for,” said Kerry Smalls, 20, junior, Business management and Public Relations major, “He’s trying to eliminate elementary and enrichment programs for high school and middle school students.”
“I don’t like his forms on education,” said William Frazier, 22, Environmental Earth Science major, “He’s cutting back on teaching jobs and my mother is a teacher.” Mike Grant, 19, sophomore, Business management major said that, “A lot of teachers I had in high school have lost their jobs because of the cuts that he’s made.”
“I don’t think he’s done enough as governor to move up to presidency,” Olga Correa, 21, sociology major, “He needs more experience.”

Many of these students that were asked to respond to Governor Christie's decision not to run for presidency were relieved and had a lot to say about what he has done for the state of New Jersey. Those who are education majors, or whose parents or friends are do not feel strongly towards him. Students who commented not only had their own notions about him but they also had the influences of their parents as well.
I know alot of my peers feel negative towards Christie because how it effects their family, their school, their household, and most importantly thier future. Many students did not respond positively, in fact the terms
"Asshole" was used alot.
But no judgement here. It takes alot to do what Christie does and he has indeed contributed to the state of NJ. He just needs to win the heart of students here.
It's going to be tough...
