Obama Wins

I am not very big on politics; however, I think I should touch on this historical event tonight. I think it is extremely significant that an African American has won the presidential candidacy. I am truly glad that our nation which was once so racist has taken the huge step forward in this election by electing a African American president. My sixth grade history teacher told me to remember what I was wearing, and what I was doing when significant events occur so I can tell my children in the future. I had him the year of September 11th and I remember that I was wearing a neon green pair of shorts and a limited too t-shirt and I was walking out of language arts. So tonight I was cramming for my Microeconomics final wearing blue sweatpants and a volleyball t-shirt when an African American won the presidential election. As I am sitting listening to Obamas speech on the TV I know things are going to change in the future and for that I am thankful.
