The recent presidential election and Obama’s inauguration will go down in the history books for numerous reasons. It touched so many people in so many different ways. Personally, I was able to see how it empowered and transformed children where I work and children where I tutor. As predominately inner city children, they were able to find inspiration and a voice in Obama and his message. These children are now engaged in their communities and are invested in their future. I don’t know what the next 4, 8, 20 years hold for our country and our world. I believe a key ensuring that but a key to it is having all of our children invested in the future. So far from the inner city kids have talked to, this president has been able to do just that.
