I am so proud

Barack Obama has been elected President. I’m in tears. I see all these faces on TV and I am so proud. This is a reflection on how we have changed and how we are changing. I so deeply believe this will change how we are in the world and I hope this represents how we can be with each other here at home as well. Wow.
