Considering the shape the U.S. is in with unfinished wars and a bad economy, I constantly worry about my future in this country. If all the hard work I’m doing will pay off. President Obama, however, gives me a sense of security. Watching the inauguration gives me hope. I know all of the country’s problems won’t get fixed in due time, and there will probably be more problems on the way before fixing the ones we already have. But I like to think President Obama is here to take care of all the unfinished business so I can relax in college for four years and when I’m ready for the world, everything will be back to normal. I also never thought I would get to see the first African-American president get elected. It’s an amazing experience for me as a minority. Race now seems like a diminishing barrier to success. I see Obama as one of the greatest examples of what one can accomplished through words—considering his moving speeches—and through hard work and dedication. This all makes this an inspiring day.
