Hello Readers, City University School has shared their pictures with me as they watch the Inauguration of President Barack Obama! This is the letter from the Chancellor from the school: I hope this communication has found you well and filled with the hope for change that President Obama has committed to this country. I want to take this opportunity to share with you a few pictures from the Inaugural Watch Party and Forum held at City University School of Liberal Arts, on Tuesday, January 20, 2009. With so many different events going on during this day filled with celebration, I wanted to provide you with just a few scenes as to how City University's scholars, parents and staff marked this day in history. Including watching and being actively involved in the pomp and circumstances of the Inauguration, the scholars also participated in a public forum where they shared with their peers and parents what this day meant to them.

Hello Readers, This week I have to work on two big book reports due in February so I might not be posting things as much as I do. One book report is going to be on Charles R. Drew (portrait at left) and the other is going to be about my great grand-mother. This is my 3-D project of Charles Drew. I made an A+ on my project.

Hello Readers, I had to go back to school today. I was happy to see all my friends and teachers again. My mom helped me study my spelling words on the plane and in the airport because she knew I would have a spelling test today. I told my class about my trip and the inauguration, and they asked me some questions about my trip.

Hello Readers, We have to go home today. We had to get up early so we could catch the train. I saw a lot of people catching the train to go to work. I counted 13 stops before we had to get off the train and catch the bus. When we got on the bus it was a big bus that had TV's on it, but the TV's did not work. The bus took us to the airport. When we arrived at the airport we saw Barack Obama. He was made of cardboard and we took pictures in front of it. We had to wait for my dad to pick us up. My mom put our luggage on a rolling cart, that I pushed around the airport. I was getting hungry so my mom brought me a roast beef sandwich. Then we waited for my dad to pick us up. I showed my dad everything I had brought back home, even my light up button that said First Family.

Hello Readers, When I got up we ate breakfast and we went to get some Obama stuff then we went to eat at an Ethiopian restaurant. Then we went to the airport, but we missed our plane. My mom went to get some more tickets, then we ate some pizza and waited for our ride to pick us up.

Hello Readers, The inauguration was today and I am very happy that we have a black president. We had to stand in a long line at the train station. There were lots and lots and lots of people standing in line to ride the train. All of us were trying to get to Washington for the Presidential Inauguration. We went to the NEWSEUM to see the Inauguration and we saw a video about not using up the world's energy. Most of all it was a good tape and we slept on the first bench before we back to the train station.
