Edwin David Corleto

I'm someone that always paid attention to the world news, especially politics. It started out when I was very young, for example I remember when I was around 6 or 7, hearing my father talk about how it was a shame that there weren't any more politicians like Jesse Ventura (it was when Gov. Ventura's term ended). By the time high school began, I was watching the Daily Show and the Colbert Report basically daily. Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert are probably my two biggest inspirations in politics and life in general. I always end up talking about news in one way or another, and I honestly enjoy it. This led me to join Debate at my high school and I'll say- I ended up being good at it. Political wise, I am a moderate independent with no desire to ever join a political party. This is a passion of mine and so is history, which is something I believe more people should be aware of.
