The United States' Presidential election in 2008 is one not to be forgotten. No longer does the typical White man last stand in the United States' succession line of presidents, this election showed that democracy does persist in the country.

A man can only withstand such pressure and pain if his faith is unshaken.When problems come and everything we do seems useless, we often question God and ask him why it is happening to us.

Guillermo Haro also encountered such problems but he never sees it as burden. In fact, he view it as challenges to be overcame which later on strengthen one's faith.Great people, famous...more
