Journal #17 My Thoughts on Obama’s Inauguration

Unlike most people at S.I.S, I am not a U.S citizen and I have never lived in the U.S, so I did not eagerly anticipate Obama’s inauguration.  However, I did end up seeing the inauguration live and I actually found it very interesting to watch.  For me, the inauguration was a symbol of a new beginning that would resolve many problems from the past.  With Obama’s leadership I believe think that many problems that have been plaguing the U.S, such as the economic recession and the Bush administration’s poor political policies will come to an end.  In a way, the feelings associated with Obama’s inauguration reminds me about the feelings people had during the new year’s resolution because both are optimistic feelings that try to forget about troubles from the past and try to look for hope and improvement in the future.
