For some reason, we have all been empowered by this election. With a bigger turnout of voters, and a history making experience; the 2008 Presidential election is an experience I am glad that I have been alive to witness. My life is still young, and already I have witnessed a lot. - In the 6th grade I watched the Twin Towers collapse and walked home to the Northern part of the Bronx from Harlem. - I have seen family members leave and go to war. - I have watched a giant growth in our technological system - Forced to thrive and overcome one of the greatest economic crisis' ever! - And now this! All within a life span of 18 years. I have had a son; been a product of a divorced household; taught to tap into all of my creative gifts - And life has just begun. I feel super!
As a child, I had one dream . . . To be a super-hero. And for some crazy reason, Obama winning the election makes me feel like my childhood dream is actually capable of becoming a reality. No - Its not me being some wierdo, or having a surplus of high hopes that its irrational . . . This is a feeling of enjoyment. It is a reflective experience that has enlightened me to a level of living that many have not had the opportunity to experience. Obama brings hope. ANd although he has not even reached office yet, the mere possibility of an African American president who is not for "Black" people . . . but for all people sheds light upon an earth that has seemed for a while to have lost all of its purity, and beauty.
As I child, I thought I was a mutant . . . wished to save the day and be recognized for my heroic efforts . . . And now with this great accomplishment and staple in American history . . . Scratch that - World history. I feel that it is possible for anything to happen.With enough confidence, humility, and an above average desire and ambition to win . . . We can achieve greatness.
-All is Love
