I finally figured out how to blog through my blackberry! I'm very excited about this. Right now, I am sitting in the parking lot waiting for my Comm class to begin. Our next assignment is an informative speech. I chose the biology of multiple births. Being that I am a triplet? Its something I know a little about and something that should be relativly easy for me to remember in a detail that will allow me to speak with out having to refer to my research paper. As little as possible anyway. Today was astonishing. I woke up this morning and jumped out of bed. I had to put on the tv to make sure I was not delusional. To my gratefulness. I was not! Its true. The polls were correct. Nobody tried to fight the numbers. My eyes welled up with tears as I remembered all of the people who have sacrificed so much in their lives. I thought of all of my friends of beautiful color. All of the digusting biased and racism they have been abused with. I thought about my gender. And all of the woman who at one time were deemed "housewives". Forced to keep their mouths shut because they were merely bodies with out the gift of a brain. To all of the followeres of non christian religions who are told that their god does not exist. To my friends who love another human being of the same sex. To all who have been faced with discrimination. This election, we have had the amazing privledge to see a woman run for president of the USA and a black man who ultimatly won! Justice has been served. To all of the people with hate in their hearts.....the hearts of this nation have spoken. And your ignorance is no longer being accepted. Today taught me that anything is possible!!!! Absoletly anything. My decision to vote for President Obama was based on these simple factors. I felt I could trust him, I felt he's intelligent enough to do the job, and and I agree with what I have heard thus far. I pray that his mind stays open and that he finds a way to not comform as so many do. Good intentions won't fix the problems in this country. But strenght and courage will!
