Its kind of funny to think of the things in life we say are impossible, or things we tell ourselves we could never do. I'm not the kind of person to doubt things and i tend to stay pretty positive though, i must admit there were times i would say, " that's impossible", or " that well never happen." I've even caught myself saying something like, "no one can do that," but on the night of November 4, 2008 i made my mind that nothing in this entire world is unreachable.  On this night The first African American was elected president of the United States. But why is this life changing? 

Having a black president was always one of those dreams my community had that no one ever truly believed in. It had its place as an accomplishment that we set as the ultimate , so it gave the lesser hope. Who ever believed it would actually happen? I didn't. I always saw it as a great idea, and something that would inspire a generation, but i gave up on that dream long ago. I couldn't picture what he would look like, what he would say, or what he would believe in. Now all that is a memory. I know now he would look like me, he would say what he truly believed in, and he would believe in change. I'm so proud to be me , with the color on my skin and struggles of my families past, because it was all worth it.
