As a white child in public school, I would tear up when I listened to Martin Luther King speak. The “I have a dream” speech would play at least once every February, and it moved me. Not just about racial equality, but just the general message of hope. Hope moved me. Hope that dreams can come true. Yes, I would get misty eyed when I heard “When you wish upon a star” too.
I think that hope is the reason our citizens elected Barak Obama. I’m not the only one in America that needs hope. We need to believe that our dreams can come true. Perhaps that’s why we are finally making Mr. King’s dream come true.
Our new president is the embodiment of our hope, for change, for peace, for our families and for the nation.
I have my own goals. My own dreams. There is no reason that I can’t make them come true. With work and perseverance I will be able to attain my goals. I just have to work at them. Never give up.
What an inspiring election.
