Wandering...

This morning walking to class, I walked through our student union to hear the blaring of television sets. For some strange reason, I thought the inauguration was later in the day. So I was at first quite surprised to see people glued to the sets and listening intently to a period of time very significant in their lives. For many who were standing around, leaning on rails and listening intently just had their first chance to vote for our President. It made me think about all the other elections since my first official one and this is the first time I have seen some many people care to stop, watch and listen. We as a nation can't just pin our hopes to one person, we need to look inside ourselves and change as a whole.
