Providence

Your perspective on how this is a dream is very interesting. As far as I'm concerned, it all seems like a dream as well. I remember in 2004, watching the Democratic National Convention in Boston at home. A candidate for Senator from Illinois made a speech, and I thought, "This man is going to be President in eight years." 
 
I was so sure that there would be a Kerry administration, that there could be no way for Bush to steal an election again, that I thought it would be eight years before Obama could run for president. Of course, we all know that it did happen. When Bush won in 2004, I began wearing Obama for president buttons, to the confusion of many. 
 
But I have a confession to make: I didn't vote in 2004. It's not because I thought that Kerry would win anyways, so I didn't bother (although in my state, that is true); it's because I was seventeen. This is my first Presidential election, and the person I've supported for president for four years is about to be elected into office. This is providence, pure and simple.
