One of my favorite things about growing up in the time I am in right now is the sole purpose of President Barack Obama. For the last eight years, we've watched as he has helped inspire millions of young minds to grow up and be better people in a world full of so much sadness and hurt.
Being still very young, I started paying attention to politics right as Obama was running for his second term. I remember thinking to myself that there are people out there who will always disagree and think just one term is enough time to make an impact. But as we've seen in the last eight years, his first term was just the beginning and he's really changed the course of the way we see The United States. That can be proven in so many ways but the fact that many wish he could just stay for another term speaks volumes.
President Obama was more than just a president in my eyes; He was a husband. The very stunning Michelle Obama took on a role she never asked for but excelled at perfectly. She helped all of us head towards a life full of loving ourselves and eating healthier. Michelle and Barack showed America what love is-- not only with each other but to every single person they met and touched throughout the media. Thank you for being genuine and real. We really need more people like these two on this planet.
President Obama was also a father to two beautiful girls who were often looked at very closely in the public eye. I can honestly say, if that was me having to grow up as the President's daughter, I don't think I could have handled it as mature and well as they have.
And of course, we can't forget about the ultimate and infectiously adorable bromance that we have all come to love between Joe Biden and Barack Obama. Since day one, these two have always had each others backs and given everyone a reason to smile. From creating headlines and spending their love to one another through social media to supporting the other in everything they wish to do in life; they are everything I could ever want in a best friend and it makes my heart so happy to see these two still so close and so there for each other.
I've never been good with change and just like every American, and quite possibly every human being partnered with, living in, or even surrounding this beautiful country, I think it is safe to say we are all somewhat scared of what our nation could very well be in for. I, being the person I am, take this new opportunity to let another man prove himself in the ways many doubted President Obama could ever do.
As Obama as in this final address, "Yes we did. Yes we can" Thank you for gracing us with change, for never giving up on your dreams, and for helping all of us see the beauty in someone as great as you. This country will miss you and we hope to see you soon, even if it's just as the First Gentlemen.
