At exactly 2 hours from now, we’ll be witnessing history unfold before our very eyes. President Elect Barack Obama will be named the first African American president of the United States of America and the most powerful man on the face of the earth.

I may not be American but I know what the whole world is facing at the moment, or, I may know half of it; but I know that this man is merely a human being like the rest of us. I’m afraid to say this but there will be controversies and there will be disappointments but we will still keep our feet firmly on the ground in the hopes of a brighter tomorrow.

Tonight I’ll be staying up to watch the live telecast on CNN because I want to be part of this historical event. And since this is not only America’s future but the world’s as well, I ask, whether you are for or against Obama’s administration, that we pray for this man and pray for good decisions and CHANGE.

Tomorrow, I’m going to wake up proud knowing that I have a future in this world and it won’t be crumbling to its core by the time I have a chance to leave a my mark on it.

Let’s keep our faith and work together to build a brighter tomorrow.
