CHANGE is in the Air

Here's a fun little speech from the local "Super English School" (magnet program), written by a 3rd year Japanese student. どうぞ:

CHANGE
He realizes the "American Dream". Who is he? He is the first Black president of the United States of America. He is Mr. Barack Hussein Obama, Jr.

Even though he is a black person, he ran in the presidential election of the United States. He often said the word "CHANGE" in his speeches. What will he change? He'll change his country, the world and himself.

All of the presidents before him were white and although racial discrimination still exists he ran for election. To do this maybe takes a lot of courage like we couldn't imagaine. He might not have won because someone may have tried to kill him, they might still. He must live in such fear and uneasiness. But he brings CHANGE, he'll make big CHANGEs for himself and for his country......

Please find CHANGE by yourself. Please CHNAGE while you are a student. Please make CHANGE starting with the little things. CHANGE like Mr. Obama. Don't worry, we can do it.
