9. CHANGE

The day is finally here. The day for change that is. Obama won the election! everybody was proud and happy that we finally got our first black president. But why put the emphasis on his race. Is it because they think that because he is black that he will steer america in a different path that what the white presidents did or is the emphasis on his race emphasized because it symbolizes the progress that america has undergone in the last forty years? I personally feel that it is the change that america has undergone in the previous years. Two generations ago, my grandparents had to fight for the right to vote, now we have a black president. Its a beautiful thing that we came together, both democratic and republican, to vote for one person that fights for the same goal as us. To be honest, i thought i would never see the day that we had our first black president. Although i do feel that the south has an enormous fear of change, we still have progressed alot from what we were. I dont feel that this fear comes from racism, I feel that it comes from tradition. A tradition that no one wants to let go.
