Los sueños se logran mientras se tenga una vision clara y una meta a donde se quiere llegar... En un mundo de imposibilidades hay posibilidades cuando existe la pasion y el deseo y la lucha continua de alcanzar ideales, estoy de acuerdo con la prensa al decir que la historia de ee.uu se parte en 2, al subir barak obama como presidente de los norteamericanos, siendo este un continente racista, se rompen muchos paradigmas establecidos , se espera un cambio positivo y un vuelco total a las politicas establecidas hasta hoy.
