A New Day

 

America has spoken, that it is time for a Change. Barack Obama became the first black man to ever become president of these United States of America.

 I am so excited.

 This was the first presidential election that I have ever gotten to vote in. Therefore, it’s pretty important to me. But, on top of the fact that it was my first, it was also a historic election that I got to be part of. I helped make history. To me that is very exciting.

 A few days before the election I sent in my ballot that had a small black bubble next to the name of a man who promised change, next to the name of a man who told us “yes we can”, next to the name of a man who made history. Yes, I voted for Barack Obama, and can’t fully explain the feeling that I felt when he won. A warm sensation ran all over me. With my help, he made history. When I saw the state of Ohio go blue on the oddly colored map of the U.S, I couldn’t help but beam with pride. My vote, and my state that gave Obama 20 electoral votes, finally went blue.

 Ohio is a key state to win. No republican candidate has ever won the election without winning Ohio. And I was part of that change.

 I have stood with the numbers of Americans who have stood up and chanted “Yes we can”. I have casted my voice asking for change.

 For the first time in my life, when it counted most, I became part of history.
