Tonight Is Proof That No Matter Where You Come From You Can Make A Positive Change In The World And Affect The Lives Of Many. Watching The Election Tonight Was A Different Experience For Me, Because I Was Able To Vote In The 2008 Elections. The Cool Part Is Not Only Was Able To Just Vote Today November 6,2011 , But I Voted In A History Making Election . Growing Up My Mother And Father Always Took Me With Them On Election Day To Vote . I Always Knew Voting Was Important And Couldn't Wait For My Opportunity To Vote. In 2008 I Was To Young To Vote However In This Election At The Age Of 21, I Wore My "I Voted" Sticker With Pride. My Mother, 83 Year Old Grandmother And I Voted Today (3 Generations Of Women) What An Unforgettable Moment? Tonight As We Sat In Front Of The TV And Watched The TV Screen Announce That President Barack Obama Has Been Re-Elected , A Sense Of Happiness, Inspiration, Motivation, Strength, And Joy Filled My Heart. I Had Tears In My Eyes , I Remember In 2008 When President Barack Obama Was First Elected And My Grandma And I Watched In Amazement . She Said To Me " I'm So Glad I Got To See A Black President In My Lifetime". I Thought Tonight As Twitter Illuminated With Congratulations Tweets To The President And The First Family , My Grandmother Got See A Black President Twice .Our Ancestors Prayed For Days Like This. They Fought, Died, And Went To Prison Just To Have An Opportunity To Vote , And In Honor Of Them And Because I Knew That My Vote Counted I Made Sure My Voice Was Heard. Tonight During President Barack Obama's Speech I Felt Moved, His Speech Was Amazing. Listening To President Barack Obama State "We Are An American Family - We Rise And Fall As 1 Nation, 1 People" . He Also Discussed That We All Have To Work Hard "You Can Make It In America If You Try" . President Barack Obama Touched On Some Very Important Topics And Plans To Take Us Forward Within The Next Four Years. His Speech Was Great , But I For Sure Loved How He Honored Our First Lady Michelle Obama And His Daughters Sasha And Malia. "Michelle, I Have Never Been More In Love With You.. America Has Fallen In Love With You." -Barack Obama . I Truly Have Been Inspired & I'm Ready To Move Forward.
