CHANGE is GOOD!
Nov 4, 2008 9:48PM I just finished getting over a very emotional moment. My candidate won…It certainly feels that i myself have won the presidential elections. For the most part, I have been apathetic about politics, mostly because i felt that one vote wouldn’t matter, and for some weird reason i feel that everything seems to be pre-determined. I guess it comes to a point in your life where you actually realize that apathy doesnt solve anything. That if you want things around you to change, then you have to CHOOSE to MAKE IT HAPPEN. I do have opinions about what’s going on with the world and how i think our country needs a major overhaul, but i havent had enough motivation to do anything about it until TODAY. Ive finally made up my mind that no matter what, i am going to cast in that vote. Everyone keeps saying, being american gives you the right to vote. The way i see it, being an american gives each and everyone of us THE PRIVILEGE to vote…Alas, ive decided to get in line to exercise this privilege. The last thing i remember Jen L telling me, Annie, you can do it. and so i did. I cant really explain how elated i am and how proud i feel to somehow, be a part of many firsts in american history.
There’s no looking back at this point. The future may seem uncertain but PRESIDENT OBAMA’s (the 44th president of the United States) win gives us all a glimmer of hope, and perhaps tell ourselves to BELIEVE that CHANGE IS GOOD. 
so so so happy, i dont know if i can sleep.
