a very thankful day
Today president Obama was sworn in, Edgar and I got up early to watch the event and tears came to my eyes thinking about what an amazing country I live in. It's taken over two hundred years for this historic event to happen, and it amazes me how for the first time in a long time Americans can say that they are truely proud to be an American. There are still many injustices in this country, and compared to others we are far behind other countries in equality and healthcare, but America is coming into it's own on it's own time. I'm proud to be part of a generation that will show the world what America is really about, and that we all can change for the better and stand together united as a country who only will fight for the well being of all men and women. One day I will tell my children and grandchildren that I was there when America broke the bonds of slavery and elected a black president. How proud I feel, to be an American.
