The Challenges my Family/I will face in the next four years:

The Challenge my family will face in the next four years, will be the same as the challenge they have been forced to deal with for the past eight: money. Our economy is in the worst shape ever, and although we have elected a candidate that promises to improve the shape of our economy, it can not be done over night. Hopefully, he will be able to prove us wrong and get it back in shape in his first term, but there is a lot of cleaning up to do. In the next four years, Barack Obama will have a lot on his plate, of course the economy being first, but there are a lot of other things that need to be fixed before number one can be. While we have to wait, our economy and families that are considered lower middle class now, when they were higher middle class four years ago, will have to wait to get their title, and lives back.

My family has struggled through this crisis for many years now, longer than people have been aware of it. It all started with the housing market and the weeding out the old and in with the new, job wise. My mother went to college and got her masters in nursing, and has yet to relish in her benefits. We were forced to move many time because of mortgage being so expensive. And I was forced to transfer schools multiple times.

I honestly believe that we can make it through these next four years with the hope instilled in us by Barack Obama. I believe that no matter how long it may take, he will get us all back on our feet and we will get back to where we were, pre- Bush JR. It will be a long road, but it is possible.
