What the election means to me

This election was a historical event. I personally thank God for allowing me to be on this earth during this historical moment. It was something that was long waited for. Not only because he was African American but how much he won by. It was something that I will never forget.

Barack Obama being president has an effect on me and future generations. It is not only a dream, but also a reality. African Americans can run for president and actually win. Not only by the color of there skin but also the effort that he put out. Even though Barack Obama is not completely African American that is even better.

It is better because I believe in the near future there will be more biracial couples. Another thing that really spoke to me was how Michelle Obama was a direct descendant of a slave or slaves.

This election also will change hope for future generations.
