Hello.
Wow.
Crazy night, right?
I say we are in the right direction. This direction is scary and much different than what we have done before. This is new, this is bold. This is where we break our resistance to change as a nation and start working together. This is a new age. A new dawn.
We have disagreed on many things, and got absolutely nowhere on many things. But if we persevere and believe that everyone in this great nation has a chance to do something great, just like President Obama said in his speech tonight, we can reclaim the title as the greatest nation in the world.
We have fought long and hard for which side is right and which side is wrong. But now we are given the choice to accept our new direction, or fight against it, preventing a positive change.
We are America. And we have never backed down. Yes, this new step will be a challenge. But when have we ever denied one?
We can reach common good.
There is a new spark. A new flame of hope is arising. And hopefully a little 5th grader stayed up late to watch that speech, and is thinking about the world with a new light.
Things have been tough, and cannot be fixed in a short amount of time. But if we work together, it can be done a whole lot faster.
