This makes me more excited for next year.

Youtube/Senator Clinton

Although not directly relating to my classroom, or anything in the 'literature' genre, i have a bit to say about this:



Throughout Senator Clinton's campaign, she has gotten nothing but negative commentary about her being a woman. Not just a woman though, a woman who apparently shouldn't be president because she is too much of an emotionless wench. There are so many facebook groups, news casts, youtube videos and the like bashing her, and yet, she has persevered. When the above video was filmed, Clinton's supporters seemed to become even more connected to her, but those who were calling for her to not run because she was emotionless merely upped their attacks. Now, she shouldn't be president because she teared up about something that mattered to her. It is rather disappointing to me that no matter what this WOMAN does, it is attacked, ridiculed, and frowned upon.
I am glad to say that Senator Clinton (notice I do not call her Hillary in this post) did win NH and continues to persevere through all of the negativity directed toward her. She gives me hope in the American Dream.
