Looking Back

It's a few days after the election and President Obama has won. So when I got up on Wednesday morning and went to work I found out I was working with 5/6th graders as I walked into the building the children were so happy that Obama was able to remain in office for another 4 years. I work at a school with a diversity of students that no one would believe and it made me wonder...when does race start to become a problem? We grow up unaware of the color of the skin of our friends. We grow up and we love everyone despite everything else, and to see the children talking to each other about how Obama is the best man for the job not because he's black but because these children watched the debates. These children listened and decided on a president that represented what they wanted to become and the things that they want to accomplish as they get older and I thought that was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.
