President-Elect Barack Obama

As we began to watch the election coverage, I was scared.  I was worried that the American people would not vote for a black man.  I lost faith.  But WE did it!  The American people decided that change was necessary.  The American people voted for hope, change and for the right man.

As I watched the news coverage, I witnessed something rare, as of late.  We have confidence that this man will help bring change to America.  We have confidence that this man will have a group of advisors who will help guide him over the next few years, to help America get back to where it once was before the Bush Administration.  We, the American people, have hope that we will be seen as peace makers and not aggressors.  

The expressions on the faces of both blacks and whites, latinos and asian, or just plain American's was amazing.  I saw the dreams of many people come true, to see a black man as the President of the United States.

I am so proud!
