First of all I would like to take a moment to say: Thank God for new beginnings. I am convinced that Obama’s inauguration is precisely what America- regardless of political parties- needs right now. His fresh perspective on our country’s dilemma and symbolism of a progressive country has reenergized and awakened our youth- and it is the youth that are hugely affected by the current mess. Although our future holds huge challenges I believe that we can only grow stronger through this. I am hoping that if predictions hold to be true, our generation will learn from our parent’s mistakes and work hard for what we have. The present situation is certainly difficult and will be even more so in the future, but there is so much we can take from it, including stronger values, appreciation for life, principles, etc. Our country has quickly developed a huge sense of self, as is apparent through the story of the millions of people that were cheated by one greedy culprit, and others. Now we will be forced to “come together” and work for the good of the whole, not just one.
