As I type this blog, I am sitting in the Norfolk Airport waiting for my plane. I am going to the inauguration in Washington DC. I am SO excited. I know that it is going to be very cold freezing really. But I am still excited. The way I see it: if people can stand in line wearing a mini dress in the freezing cold, then they can stand in cold to watch history.
Monday is going to be history to me not only because Obama is the first biracial president. It is also an important day to me because of the events that were an effect of Obama being elected of president. This year, so many youth and young adults voted of encouraged others to vote. Celebrities, posters, songs, clothing and books were used to gain voters. In addition, matters that were usually not discussed between kids and adults actually happened. When was that last time you saw adults asking young adults their opinion on politics? On health care? On economics and pensions? I am SO proud to say that I live in a country where these things can happen. MAN! Haha , I am so excited.
I worked to get Obama elected. I campaigned 5 days a week passing out literature, talked to strangers. I went door-to-door in the sharp winds, ice cold rain and every combination in between. Do you know that my FIRST day, they gave me a map of the surrounding areas and left me there for hours? Haha. I am happy to say that I made a difference, though. I helped make history.
I am happy to be going.
