It's been a while..
So.. I have no Internet right now. I’m on an office computer at the apartments I live at.. I’ve missed chances to blog about stuff. But I won’t let one thing pass. I want to blog about this..
I want to blog about our new president. [Who I love, BTW.]
I wrote this all in my second period social studies class while I was SUPPOSED to be writing about the cotton gin. Yeah, this is way more important than learning how to pick the seeds out of cotton..
Our nation has gotten through so many things. Things that have changed so much since the times of our forebears. One of the biggest things we have overcome as a nation is slavery. We now have equal rights. [Well, sort of. Gays still don’t get the rights they deserve in most places. But anyway.] Two men helped change our country so that EVERYONE is equal. These men are former president Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King Jr. Thanks to these men, slavery has been abolished, and people are treated they way they SHOULD be treated. We have come so far as to have an African American president. A long time ago, this would have been thought as insane. This never would have happened. But today, thanks to the people who have fought so hard to get equal rights for everyone, we can now do things people couldn’t even IMAGINE. Martin Luther King Jr. said “We shall overcome.” Well, we HAVE overcome. And I am so happy we did.
Here’s to a new hope, America.

Okay, I pretty much just rambled. But..there’s at least one or two good parts in there.
Haha.
Bye.
