Proud for my kiddos


This week has meant a lot to my students. I teach in a district that is about 60% african american and they were so excited for this election. Before Obama, they didn't even know what an election really meant, but now they know and they are so proud.

I am so happy that Obama won the election. I see this as being such a great step forward for our nation. My kiddos now have a man to look up to. Something to aspire to. I am so very happy for them. Too many times my students don't see their potential and I see Obama as their potential.

Thank you President-Elect. Please keep being the role model you are. My students are relying on you to lead the way.
