New Semester! New Things to Learn...!




So, to begin my FIRST day of my second semester as a SENIOR, I head to Clark Atlanta University to attend my Photojournalism class. To begin our class session, my professor walks the classroom through PhotoShop and shows the class how to place our photo on other photos. So, that's exactly what I did! (ABOVE)

Also, I found out yesterday, in order to be qualified a senior at Clark Atlanta University, one must have 88+ credit hours. I have 88 credit hours EXACTLY!! I am a SENIOR!!!

Barack and Michelle Obama’s impact on black families have highly increased the want of single, black individuals to find their one true love and live their happily ever after similar to Barack and Michelle Obama.
Barack and Michelle’s affection:
1. The “dap” – when Barack went up to give his speech in St. Paul, Minnesota, Michelle “dapped” or fist pounded him while also looking into his eyes.
2. Barack kissing Michelle on her nose- The Evening Standard, newspaper from London called it the “Perfect Public Kiss,” on the day Barack was elected president. The article reads, “He is gently brushing her nose with his lips. As she leans in, their brows, nose and chin fit perfectly. Both hands support the small of her back.”

Barack and Michelle’s togetherness:
1. They exhibit the American family: they are both in the household together with two children. There are no other women claiming Barack has children by them or that he’s cheated on Michelle; no evidence showing Barack is not a “family man.” Barack and Michelle attend parent/teacher conferences with the girls, have family time; were eating dinner at a restaurant in Pueblo, Colorado the day before Election Day, written on the Guardian.co.uk

Barack supports Michelle, Michelle supports Barack:
1. When Michelle was at the podium delivering some of her speeches, Barack was somewhere watching his wife and listening very carefully.
2. On 60 minutes, many wrote how when Michelle spoke, Barack looked directly into her eyes and listened, agreed. (60 minutes on CBS)

Obama’s history-making election win shows how important it is for black people to choose the right partner, someone who is an equal in important ways.
They have a better relationship than the past presidents and first lady’s relationships. The Obamas complete each other, they are soul-mates. Their ways of affection, support and love make them the complete envied, black, “American” family anybody could ever want.
