I remember when I was in preschool, I saw on our TV,  a tall man speaking to a large crowd. He was saying a lot of words I didn’t understand because I didn’t know what was going on. I remember that I kept watching, I asked my dad “What is he talking about?” Before my dad could say anything, the man said ” Change happens because the American people demand it, because they rise up and insist on new ideas and new leadership, a new politics for a new time.” Those words I understood.

Those words were the ones that would bring the nation together, that would change the lives of millions. And they actually did. President Barack Obama was always such and inspirational person to me. He was kind, loyal, smart, he was someone of great qualities, he led the nation with compassion, hospitality. But one word to describe this incredible man is, kindhearted. He understands the way life goes for one hundred million people that live on the streets,  and with his wife by his side, he will do everything in their power to do the best to help.

This is the man who will reply to you personally if you write to him. Over the summer I wrote the president a letter, without telling me, my parents actually sent it. I didn’t know because I didn’t think I would get a response. He is a very busy man, I didn’t think he would take the time to do it. But he did. This man, he believes that, if our nation was divided, we wouldn’t be able to create the America we all now and love. So always remember these words “Yes we can, yes we did.” – President Barack Obama

Thank you Mr.President, for everything you have done for this nation and all it’s people. 

“We did not come to fear the future. We came here to shape it.”

In honor of Martin Luther King Jr.  I am writing about him in the category of “Inspirational People.” I am not just writing about him as a famous idol. But I am writing about him as just a regular man, who had a dream. A dream for everyone to have the freedom of equality and have the same rights for everyone.  One of my life motto’s are “If you don’t do all you could to be heard, then you will just be another brick in the wall.” Luckily he not only wanted to be heard, but he wanted to be listened to. He wanted people to listen to what he had to say, about segregation, about equal rights, about his dream. “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation, where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but the content of their character.” With those historical words said, he lived to be one of the many people who stood up for what was right. Without him we wouldn’t be living in the country we now call free. So lets all take a moment to honor one of the nations many people who spoke for our nation.

“Commit yourself to the noble struggle for equal rights. You will make a greater person of yourself, a greater nation of your country, and a finer world to live in.”

• Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
