Change

Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek. - Barack Obama

Chances are, if you've previously read my blog, you know I support change, treating people as unique, and above all, I have a strong belief in Barack Obama.

I cannot believe that it's already his inauguration. My only hope now is that people can be patient enough to let him do the work that is necessary to fix our country. With most change, it's going to take time and I feel as though people will be quick to judge if it doesn't happen right away. But I think now, more than ever, it shouldn't matter what your belief is because we need to come together for a unity much stronger than any belief, and that's because we are the United States. Whether you're a democrat or a republican or affiliate yourself with no party, I think that Obama has the power to reunite us all.

I applaud his work, and that of the politicians before him who have given this nation a redeeming quality. Heroes like Martin Luther King, Jr and now Barack Obama show that it doesn't matter your race or your background. It's what you can do to make the world a better place.

One of my main goals in my life is to leave my mark on the world, whether it be because I've made someone's life a little bit better or because I've done something to put myself in the history books.

To those fighting for our country, fighting to make a change in this world, or even fighting to make themselves better: thank you - because it probably will never get said enough!
