There is a moment in each life time that is never forgotten and will live on through stories and memories. Today, we all witnessed another, a moment that started with a simple phrases that were the catalyst: ‘I have a dream’ and ‘yes we can’. These words echoed through my mind as I watched from my desk, the first African American, a visible minority take the oath of office. Barak Obama became the first minority to become the president of the United States.
It makes you wonder about whether it is a circumstance that thrusts us into a realm of change or if that is our history that determines our circumstance. We all live our lives, working, going to school and not really wondering what our paths are and where they will lead us. Some argue you can’t help what your history will be, other argue that it is predetermined and you destiny will determine your history.
Regardless of our paths to our eventual history, we like president Obama will face numerous challenges and it will be how we handle those challenges that will really shape our own history and our presence in this world.
