My hobbies include taking pictures of almost anything that gets my attention. Listening to music and hanging out with my friends. I also like to learn new things, even if I don't know anything about it, for instance basketball. I'm interested in music and movies, to be able to see the creation of one person. Makes me see what I can come up with in the future.

Please tell us why it is important to you to go to the inauguration of Barack Obama:

It is important for me to go to the inauguration of Barack Obama because, first of all, I never traveled in my life and going to Washington, D.C., is really amazing for me. To know that I'm in a place where our next president will be is again amazing. I've never been close to a famous person. I come close to a famous person is when they show it on TV and this will count for something.

On top of that, now I am to see a change in our president and see all of the people who voted for him. Who knows? Next we might get a woman for president.

What is the most important thing you hope Obama can accomplish as president and why?

As president I hope that he will be able to accomplish the following:

Settle the war and bring home the troops from Iraq. I am tired of the troops being there and not with their loved ones.

I also think he would accomplish something in the price of things. I am hoping he would lower prices because some people can't afford it.

Improve on the economy, and how people are cutting down the wildlife to make way for other buildings that are unnecessary.

I think that he will improve on these things because they are the most important things that are going on. Although it will may take a while for President Obama to accomplish it, he will end up doing it.
