This Election Day, more than any other in my lifetime, has the feeling of being a day which will be a turning point in our history. Whichever side wins, history is guaranteed. Whether it's the first African American President or the first female Vice President, history will be made. But aside from that, it truly is an important election. I believe there is something more important than the sex or race of our new elected leaders. And although that is something which is monumental, make no mistake, I think and hope that people in this country are ready for a change. That maybe we should think outside of what is only good for Americans. Of course we should care and should be concerned over how our fellow citizens are treated and how they are getting along. But we should never forget that there is a whole world out there and we are part of a global community.
I love this country and a day like today makes me so proud, that it's easy to get choked up when you arrive at the voting station and know that you at least can cast your ballot for who you think will best help reach your idea of what America is and what it can be. I hope to never take this for granted.
After several years of seeing a country truly divided as to what America means and what it means to be an American, lets hope that after tomorrow we all can accept whatever the outcome is and show what is best about this country and being an American.
Lets remember that no matter what, it will take a lot for it to be worse than the last 8 years. I truly hope America is ready to try something new and show why we are still a country filled with hope for everyone.
