Clinton's Daughter On The Campaign Trail

It looks like Chelsea Clinton has changed her ways and is now following in her mother's footsteps. Of course Hillary Clinton is spending her time campaigning to everyone in the United States, but Chelsea is speaking to a group of people that need to have their voices heard.
Chelsea Clinton, is 28, and going along on the campaign trail to speak to college students and ask them about the issues they are concerned with. She recently visited UK and had a great turn out. Some of the students asked about immigration reform and veteran's rights. Another big issue that the students were wondering about was what was her mother going to do about the affordability of college. H. Clinton plans on "restoring federal lending for student loans, increasing Pell Grants and forgiving student loans for people who enter public service jobs such as teaching or public health positions". Also she plans on not using FAFSA(Free Application for Federal Student Aid) and start using a check box on tax forms. The check box would determine how much federal aid a student could get.
Overall the effect of the rally was great. It helped students, just like me, to get their points of views and interests across. Who knows we may be seeing Chelsea around more often and could she maybe be a future presidential candidate?
