Flashback and forward at once

Last time Obama got elected I was 17, a few months shy of voting, a senior in high school who had volunteered on his campaign despite being underage. I remember being told that I was too young to understand the man I supported but 4 years, 3.5 more years of education, world experiences and lots of learning by mistakes later looks like I haven't changed as much as I sometimes think. 


I remember pretty soon after the election traveling to Ethiopia where I found a barrage of Obama support and people in another country who were as excited as I was for Obama to be President. It makes me wonder if the general support from Ethiopia is the same as it was 4 years ago. I hope so :)
