Change

What does change mean? The word change to me means having things be different. What I mean by different is not wanting the world to stay the same. Sometimes change can be seen as a good thing, but also a negative depending on the subject. A change that I went through was just last night, watching the presidential election. I saw change in who became president of the United States, the first African American president, Barack Obama. Watching this and living it was a good change in our history. The reason why I believe the election is a good change is because it’s slowly showing more people willing to see through someone’s skin color. What I mean by seeing through someone’s skin color is we are not judging people by their skin color anymore, but by who they really are. This change has become one less wall put up in our society, even though through history, the presidents have been white, many people of all cultures believed it is was time to make the transition. Seeing that we all united together and voted will slowly help bring about bigger changes in our society. We have all been through many changes that have impacted us in different ways, and this election is one that will remain in history as a tremendous change.
