Where were you when the world...

Where was I when the world changed?
I was in class as usual (Mr. Shroen's economics class 4th period), although this day he lead us to the library to watch the inauguration of the 44th president of the United States. I was sitting on the floor with people from other classes all around me when Barack Obama and Joe Biden took the oath of office. Although the election of an African-American president may not mean as much to me as it does others, the memory of sitting on that floor will be forever in my head, sitting there waiting to be told. Barack Obamas speech, after taking his oath, was one of the most memorable things about the day. The speech gave hope to the american people and was very touching to those listening. The day might of run as usual, but it was definatly not an ordinary day.
