I know that I'm a day late posting but I have to comment on the implications of this moment. THIS IS IT. All the days that we have complain when are things going to change. Now that day is here. Are you happy now??? You should be because I am. To think that everyone enjoyed the moment as much as some is wishful thinking. There will always be detractors to anything that is good. However, whether they want to admit it or not our country will be better because of this day. This day means that I can no longer settle for being average or just blending in with the rest. This day encourages me to do more and dream bigger than I have before. I was glad that my grandparents were able to witness this event. It means more to them than I could ever imagine. The day is not just historic for black people but for all of us. Yes all of us. We are supposed to "love thy neighbor", but we tend to believe that attempting to love everyone will just suffice. We can only be as great as our reflection and we I look at America's reflection I see someone who looks just like me......
