Number 44!

The inauguration of the 44th president of the United States happened on Tuesday, January 20th, 2009. This was a very big day in history because it the was first time ever to have a biracial president. On this day many people were excited and happy, but also many other people we very nervous for what was going to happen next.


Unfortunately, we had to be in school this day, but the school made the auditorium and the scrounge a place for people to go so that they could watch the inauguration. This day was one of the biggest days in history and Obama, our president now, had to make a very important speech. Luckily i was able to go to the auditorium during 3rd period because i had that period free. I got to see some of the old presidents walk in, and Obama and his family walk in also. Then i was able to watch a priest from California say a prayer. But the bell rang and it was time for me to go to math class. It was too bad that our math class didn't go to the auditorium to watch Obama's speech because it was a very important speech for him and a big turning point in our history and i wasn't able to watch it because i had to be in class.


Do you think that this was unfair to the people that had to be in class but wanted to see the inauguration of Obama, the first biracial president of the United States? I believe that this was unfair that not all of is could see his speech because we had to be in class. We have fit many people into the auditorium before and i think that we could have put some people in there and set up chairs and stuff in the scrounge so classes could go there too. I think that everyone during 4th period should have been able to see Obama's huge speech to the world. I was sad that i missed it and i wish i could have watched it live. What do you think about how some classes did not go to watch Obama's speech? Do you think that it was unfair if the teachers kept them in the classroom?
