BEFORE BARACK OBAMA WAS PRESIDENT, I LOST HOPE IN MANY THINGS. I JUST SAID FORGET IT. I MEAN A BLACK PRESIDENT?! COME ON, THAT WAS LIKE A FANTASY AND USUALLY A FANTASY NEVER COMES TRUE. MANY PEOPLE WONDERED HOW LIFE WOULD BE WITH A BLACK PRESIDENT BUT SOME NEVER THOUGHT THAT WOULD EVER COME TRUE BECAUSE THINGS LIKE THAT NEVER DID. SO I DIDN'T PAY MUCH ATTENTION TO IT. BUT THEN THAT ALL CHANGE ON NOVEMBER 4TH 2008 AT 11PM. ALL I HEARD WAS MOMMA SCREAM AND I WOKE UP, SHE CRIED AND JUMPED UP AND DOWN, AND ALL SHE KEPT SAYING WAS "YES LORD, YES LORD OBAMA WON, A AFRICAN AMERICAN PRESIDENT." EVER SINCE THEN, I REALIZED THAT FANTASY'S CAN COME TRUE AND ANYBODY CAN BE ANYTHING THEY WANNA BE IF THEY HAVE HOPE. AMERICA IS IN A CRISIS AND I KNOW FOR SURE THAT OBAMA IS BRINGING BIG CHANGE TO IT. THE QUESTION IS, CAN WE DO IT...MY ANSWER IS "YES WE CAN."
AS SOON AS OBAMA WON, MY PERSPECTIVE OF LIFE CHANGED. IT FEELS SO DREAMY LIKE. VERY OVERWHELMING. I FEEL THAT AMERICA IS NOT GOING TO GO INTO A DEPRESSION. IT IS GOING TO BE "POPULAR" AGAIN. EVERYTHING IS GOING TO CHANGE. EVERYONE, WELL MANY PEOPLE ARE GLAD THAT HE IS PRESIDENT BUT I REALLY HOPE THAT HE STAYS TRUE TO IT. SOCIETY IS USED TO BEING DISSAPOINTED, SO HE HAS TO PROVE US WRONG.
