Change

Change. Change can mean a lot of things for many people. At this point of my life, change is occurring everywhere around me. I've transitioned from high school to college, I am reading Coffee Makes You Black which deals with an individuals' internal changes, and most importantly our country voted for the first African American to be President as a change.


I'm beginning to realize there is a new meaning for change. Change that deals with not only an individuals' personal growth, but as society grows together and becomes wiser and more open to new opportunities and changes. I feel I have really developed my sense of character this year as I am living independently without my parents making the choices for me. Presently, it is now my decision to wake up in the mornings and go to class, it is now my decision to eat healthy and exercise to stay in shape and now it is my decision to make a change in society by voting who I believe will serve our country best as President. While I deal with my own personal transformation, our world is changing as well, specifically our country. Our country is suffering from war and economic issues. As I voted for our next president and the propositions I believe would improve our country, these severe issues is what I mainly focused on. Although voting Barack Obama does not mean that change will occur instantly, or over a month, over a year or even in our lifetime, I believe I was a part of a step to achieve this change we all dream of.
