It's official...

I have jumped the pond and for some reason they have let me back into the mother land.
After a grueling day of traveling, I was welcomed to the most heart-warming of hellos a girl could ask for. In the way my sister and I know best, we successfully made the biggest scene in the arrivals section of the airport. That was exactly what I needed- a great explosion of love.

Join the Impact.

On November 15th, there will be a national outcry against Prop 8 at the city halls of each state. The goal of this protest is to gain equality for ALL American citizens. No one deserves to be treated as second class, especially if it is solely based on whom you love. If you find yourself sitting on your couch with nothing to do, please join this fight. Doesn't everyone deserve the right to love?

Imagine how beautiful the world could be if discrimination ceased to exist?

Making history.

Last night, I took part in an historic event. The 2009 presidential elections was that of historic proportions. Pulling an all-niter, I excitedly watched the election on a projection screen streaming live-feed from cnn.com in an international dorm. Most of us were pulling for Obama while a few proudly supported McCain.
We eagerly watched the polls teater-totter, offered our own versions of Americana through games and food, discussed political and religious views, and bonded as a family through our differences and similarities.
America as we now know it will be different forever. The objection of race and gender in an executive political position shall never be viewed as a variable, and for the first time in over eight-years my fellow peers and I now attain an ever-glowing sense of pride to be an American.
Although our country has a long road to rebuild, one can only hope that the sense of our new president will inspire my generation to finally take a stand in our future. Apathy will only take us so far. The future is in all of our hands, we need to take a stand.

Our nation.

This is a beautiful documentary about our nation created by Vanguard Journalism// Current TV. If you find that you have some free time (about 45 minutes), please take the chance to watch this before you vote on Tuesday. If not, please do not forget to vote!

Good citizen.

I registered to vote today.



Be proud.
