Reese Witherspoon Wanted to Be the First Female President of the United States When She Was a Kid

From Cosmopolitan

• Reese Witherspoon actually wanted to be a U.S. president when she was a kid.

• Now that she's an actress, Reese says she plans to support Kamala Harris in the election.

It's hard to believe Reese Witherspoon once had aspirations that didn't involve being an actress, but you learn something new everyday, I guess! Yes, she has her production company, a whole clothing line, and multiple awards to her name now, but as it turns out, Reese wanted to be the first female president of the United States when she was a kid!

On Instagram, Reese posted a picture of herself as an itty bitty child and revealed that the presidency was once on her mind. In fact, it was on Reese's mind enough that she told her third grade teacher about her aspirations.

"I woke up this morning thinking about a moment from my childhood," Reese wrote in the caption of her cute throwback pic. "In the 3rd grade our teacher asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up, I raised my hand and said, 'I want to be the first female President of the United States of America.' Some of the kids laughed, but my teacher looked me in the eye and said, 'I will be the first person to vote for you, Reese.'"

Reese then said the catalyst for the memory was Kamala Harris being selected as Joe Biden's running mate, and Reese intends on having her back in the November election.

"My thoughts today are with woman in our country, especially the young Black and Brown girls of our nation who have watched their mothers hold up their families, their communities, their cities, their states," Reese added. "Now you know that YOU too can work hard, dedicate your life to service and show up every day to help others, and YOU can RISE to become a Vice Presidential nominee in the United States of America. Today is a truly historic day! 🇺🇸#KamalaHarris #WeHaveHerBack"

That being said, please don't forget to vote!
