Assignment #1. If You Could Transport Yourself Anywhere..

      It was a night of anticipation. A night that could change the world. November 4th, 2008. The whole world was watching. Watching from their televisions, from the streets, just waiting, waiting to see what would occur, who would win? A sea of people flood the streets of Chicago, flowing through every avenue, and boulevard. It was as if every human to step foot on the earth's solid crust was there, in Chicago, that night. The air was icy cold but no one took notice. Hands were frozen however people still clapped. Legs were numb yet people still stood and cheered in the meadows of colorful beings. The look on the face of fellow Americans' expressed anxiety and excitement. Everyone, from toddlers to elders were present, but today everyone shared something in common, and that was the feeling of curiosity. Change was near.  This momentous occasion would mark the a whole new chapter in history books. A man walked up on stage, eyes were stuck to him like glue, and the ear deafening crowd shushed to silence in an instant. As the man approached the podium, took in the support from millions, the crowd begun chanting, and chanting loud. Obama, Obama, Obama, it was as if it was coming from all corners of the world. From a small whisper to a thundering yell! It was final, Barack Obama was the 44th president of the United States of America. He was the first African-American man in the executive office. He uttered two simple words "Hello Chicago." And the crowd resumed applauding with excitement. President Obama continued to give his inspirational speech while everyone at home,in Chicago watched. Viewers hung on every word as if it were a rope saving them from a never ending well. With every word, hope dripped little by little for the citizens of American. With every word came a sense of pride. As the extraordinary night drew to a conclusion and the influential leader walked away from the podium, three words that were said lingered in American minds... "Yes we can!"
