It feels like I made a difference

Obama has become the 44th President-Elect of the United States of America.

I feel so much hope. I feel so happy. Not ecstatic, yelling happy, but this kind of bubbling, quiet happy. I feel like I really can make a difference - that this shows to the world that America isn't like they think we are.

I'm looking forward to the next four years. I think most people are.
