Election Day

November 4, 2008 was a day that many people will not forget. It was a day that proved America was taking a big step forward to hopefully changing the way we are. When i woke up that day i could feel the tension in the air. The excitment could be seen on everyones faces. Walking down the street with my mom that day all we saw were people with "Obama '08" t-shirts on and many people chanting Obamas name. That day you could tell that people really wanted this change. Alot of people went out to vote and no matter how big the lines were people were still very friendly. They would hold eachothers spots and go out for coffee, start conversations things of that sort. At around 3:00 pm i went with my mom to the voting polls. To my suprise the line had nly about 3 people and we were in in less than 5 minutes. Once inside i was allowed tobe wth my mom while she voted. I pulled the lever and she picked her vote, for Obama ofcourse. Once we were out we went hom and waited anxiously until the new president was announced. At 11:00 pm i was woken up with people screeming and clapping and instantly i knew Obama had won. It was a day that gave America hope for a new future.
