pilamaya thank you

What an experience.  I have spoke in front of people and felt a very accomplished feeling afterward but after speaking to some of those that share the label student and a diverse group of people, I felt very thankful for those that helped this opportunity make it a success.  I thank the class for being interested and responding to our visit.  I thank the students at the Cascadia Community College for listening and commenting on certain issues we face today.  I really hope that this can spread like a wild fire because what better place to engage in diversity/unity other than in the sancutary of education.  Obama speaks of education dearly, so we as a people and young nation must become pro-active in giving the truth of history.  Although not to diminish us but to gain understanding and acceptance of each others culture.  I think Obama will back us in this one and I truly believe it is what the younger generation wants because everything is so diverse now.  And thats good.  We have many issues to address as a World.  Thinking GLOBAL.  Like when Sherman Alexie said they called him a Globe or something that.  Lol.  I would like to see other students engage in their culture and share it with those that know nothing about it.  Always keeping an open mind.  In this way, a form of education would be taught.  But we are getting better at it.  I see us moving in a positive direction.  Only we can be acceptable to social change.  Obama you have my vote for 2012.  I would like to go visit CCC again and maybe have some of them come to our college.  I would also like them to visit Northwest Indian College's main campus too.  I think that would be nice.  Who knows let's see what we can do.
