Watched History Being Made
President Obama. The first African American to be president of the United States. It is an absolutely amazing thing and I can still feel the goosebumps from when it was announced that he had won. Of course, it does not mean I have no worries. We have yet to see what he can accomplish and whether he will remain honest and true to everything that he has stated thus far. Everytime there is an election there is always the worry that the candidate the people have chosen may not be the right one or that our new president may make a terrible mistake and perhaps never rectify it. Of course there is worry but there is also hope. As with any new event that takes place, there is hope that things will change for the better and not remain stagnant or, even more troubling, get even worse. I was not as politically involved as many others but I truly hoped for improvement. It did not matter whether it came from McCain or Obama. I unlike many of you had no choice for reasons beyond my control. Rejoice in the rights that you posses and practice them to their fullest. Even with the division of this country's people, because of different ideas, it remains a powerful and emotional event to witness history happening right before your eyes.
