Upper Marlboro, MD (CNN) – Edward Burroughs is only 19 years old, but he isn’t new to the political scene. He’s held elected office for more than a year.
Burroughs won his seat on the Prince George’s County, MD school board back in 2010, at just 17. By the time his term began, he was old enough to serve.
Now the college sophomore is hoping voters will give him a chance to do so again. The tall, lanky teen, who wears his hair in twists, donned khakis, a coat and a backpack to spend primary day greeting voters and handing out literature outside the polls. By that night, he had won his district’s primary, pulling in 67 percent of the vote. Burroughs’ chief concerns are teacher quality and shielding students in the classroom from the effects of deep budget cuts.

You can never understand someone if you do not take the time to understand their point of view. I didn’t say you have to agree. But before you judge, learn their side first. ™
allthenewthings replied to your post: I haven’t been on my Zumba for a couple of week….
That is sad, but don’t worry, pick yourself up and keep going. We always have barriers on our journey, one way or another. Don’t let them stop you! Good luck ! :D
Thank you so much! I’m going to get back on track. I need Zumba in my life again! :-)
I haven’t been on my Zumba for a couple of week. Unfortunately, my entire kit was stolen by a family member. I am going to get another kit and treat myself to some pink Zumba shoes, but I shouldn’t have to do that. It’s sad when people steal—even more so when they are family members. Well, it was definitely a lesson learned. They have ruined any trust or help I could have offered them in the future.
I’m looking forward to getting back to my workout routine. I definitely feel the difference. Besides, I was losing so much weight combining Weight Watchers and Zumba.
I still managed to lose a pound last week. LOL. I’m not even mad. At least it was a loss and not a gain.
