The selection of America

This morning I watched a video which was about clinton ‘s unsuccessful presentation of this year’s campaign. Even thought she didn’t get this offer to be new president of America , she welcomed by tens of thousands of citizens.

From this video, I felt her confident ,humility and passionate. She congratulated to Tramp, she thanked for helping from every volunteers and supporters and said sorry to them, She voiced thanks to Obama for his efforts and his the greatest contribution for Americans. And then, She shared with her vision to every young girls who watched this presentation.

To me , I am very respect her courage and passion. She is 70 years old this year, this age is similar with my grandmother, but my grandmother is bored every day. And on the another side, it will push me to pressure my dream hardly.

American Elections

This morning I watched the video which was of Clinton’s defeat speech of this year’s campaign.

Even though she didn’t get this opportunity to be the new American president, she was welcomed by tens of thousands of citizens.

From this video, I felt her confidence, humility and passion. She congratulated to Trump, she thanked every volunteer and supporter for helping her and said sorry to them. She gave thanks to Obama for his efforts and his the great contribution to America. And then, she shared with her vision with every young girl who watched this speech.

The way I see it, I am really respect her courage and passion. She is 70 years old this year, this age is similar with my grandmother’s, but my grandmother is bored every day. And on another note, it will push me to pursue my dream harder.
