I am proud

"Today I am proud to be descended from over 300 years of Americans. I might have been the first member of my family born in Canada, but I was raised to feel American, a feeling that the last few years have made me ashamed of. Today I am no longer ashamed. I am hopeful. I believe that the world now has a future that will be good. Thank you America for voting for change, for voting for Obama," I whisper.
