History

Last night history was made.
Personally, I voted in my very first election early yesterday morning.
I finally felt a part of my country's democratic process.
Not only did I turn out for my first election, but so did millions of other young people just like me.

6 hour lines, roof collapses, rainy weather, nothing kept the voters away from changing a country that has fallen so quickly from grace.
I'm proud that for once, the country was united for the people.
Regardless of party, this day marks a milestone for the colored community, the young community, the old community...records were set for everyone.
338 to 163, a landslide victory.

I only hope that this will be the change that we need, that this will be the difference that opens up the eyes of those who refuse to better their communities.
I'm proud to be a part of this day, and this country.
