Obama Shines Hope in NYC
My best friend, Karen looked around on the subway and was disappointed that everything looked and felt the same. She thought people would dress up (or at least shower) and that people would be happier today, but she didn’t see or feel anything different.
I asked her if she felt different and she said no.
So I told her about my day and conversations with students. I don’t talk politics with students because that isn’t my place, but I will listen to them and ask them questions about what they say. I don’t need to share my opinion because they hear adults opinions all of the time and they basically just want me to listen. Listening to them talk today was so exhilarating! I loved that many of my Asian students felt the same hope that many other black students in the US felt – the door is open and anyone can be president.
May Obama be one of the most successful presidents ever.
Hugs,
marlene
