Anything Is Possible.

Soo sometime in January, before the entire hype about the presidential bid earlier this year, I was searching around on Youtube for vids that could educate me on black in history and black in the present. I stumbled on this video, and within the first few minutes, there was this young man, with a huge afro, who said bluntly and plainly, " I want to be the president of the United States". And when I turned on the television that night, here this man was 25,20 years later, fighting to become the next president of the US. Today, he is the official Democratic Party Candidate for the presidential office. And with a opposition candidate, who believes in many of the same things as the president of the past 8 years, it looks like Obama is shaping up to be the next president, for real, for real. So as I'm watching his acceptance speech at the DNC, I'm drawn back to the night in January, when I first watched that " Oh Brother" episode that really must have been some time in the 70's. Obama becoming the next president of America is not only an indication that the Americans are working on putting their nasty habits, degradation, discrimination and past behind them. This also shows me that dreams are not "hopeless aspirations" as one song from the 90's said. Dreams are really one's passion wrapped up and packaged in goals and motivation. Barack went from the bottom straight to the top. And he is nothing less than an example of what a human being can accomplish if they truly believe in their dream, and themselves. Such an inspiration.




Yes, we all can.
