Letter to Future Child

Dear Child of Mine,
I am writing you this letter in hopes that I can help you understand the pivotal moment that our country experienced during the presidential election between Barack Obama and John McCain. The nation was in utter chaos and sinking deeper into the wreckage under Bushes ignorant control. Health care, the economy, education, foreign policy and any other important issue you can think of was a complete disaster.
I wish I could let you feel the anxiety that I felt while we waited to find out who the next president would be. Just the thoughts of McCain as president made me want to pack my things and move to Canada. Luckily that was not necessary and hopefully it will b e much better world for you to be brought up in.
Luckily for you and every other child our country had enough brains to elect a president that will hopefully be able to evoke some extreme changes. Unlike your dear mother you might actually be able to get help with paying for your college. Obama plans to create a plan that will allow you to do community service in exchange for college money.
I am hoping that you will be able to realize the important role that you can play in the future of your country and how crucial it is for you to become aware of what is going on and form your own set of beliefs opinions and values based on what you truly believe not what people tell you to believe. I hope this election will make you realize your vote really does count and when you vote in your first election you should feel extremely proud.
