As we celebrate an American Hero over the next few days. Let us take a moment to reflect back on the pass year. What a year to be a business owner, or a politician: just the same, what a year to be a consumer of the latest technological innovations. 2015 showed that the business and political spheres are interconnected shaping one of the most transformative years in the history of this Country.
Irrespective of what side of the political conversation one lands on, or social views held, it is hard to deny that 2015 opened many doors for greater debate and discussion. In the same vain, closed others and fostered new ones. From voter rights challenges and ID requirements, gay rights, immigration, climate change, Confederate flag and monuments coming down to the Black lives matter movement. 2015 saw a significant amount of discourse on topics that in years pass were off the table.
Thus, as we reflect on the many phenomena that defined the pass year and now look forward to this New Year. We must recognize some key political personalities that made 2015 so outstanding. Starting with President Barack Obama, who seemed to be relaxed and self-assured as he whines down his presidency, still anchoring policy to help steer the country. His movement suggested he is far from a lame duck president.
2015 saw Hillary Clinton, the former first lady; Secretary of State and US Senator initiate her democratic campaign to become the first women elected president of the United States. In
After losing the last presidential elections, Hillary Clinton became Secretary of State in the Obama administration. Clinton future at the White House is questionable at this stage as she announced that she would no longer serve as Sectary of State and she would not run for presidency in 2012; some rumors however state that she considers competing in the 2016 elections. It is nevertheless worthwhile to mention that it has been nearly two centuries since any sectary of state has become United States president.
Although Hillary was the first woman to run for presidency, she was definitely not the first to enter the political world. Many had preceded before her and paved the way for future generations of women to have their political voice.The first woman in congress was Jeanette Rankin. She was elected to the house of representative in 1916; four years after women gained the right to vote. Rebecca Felton became the first woman to serve in the U.S senate in 1922.

It was a decade of destruction, of innovations, and newfound experiences that hit high marks: from hurricane Katrina flooding New Orleans, to the development and evolution of the iPhone, to the first African American president being sworn into office. For many in the technological era there were both times of sorrow and hope.
She went on to become the first lady as her husband Bill Clinton won the presidential election of 1993 and appointed her as the head of the Task Force of National Health Reform. In 1998, her husband was impeached due to a sex scandal, involving Monica Lewinsky, but remained in office. After her husband’s presidency was restricted to 2 years, Hilary became the first female U.S. senator from 2001-2009. She took part in running for the presidency of 2008 but lacked the amount of delegates to win.
As a eighteen year old woman, I am very excited to get the chance to vote this year. This year is also the first time a woman has been nominated in a major party.

Before 1917, no woman had ever been elected to serve and represent their state in Washington, D.C., although many had tried. In 1917, we saw our first congresswoman on the national stage, and throughout the year’s woman have played many roles in government. These roles include service in the House of Representatives, the Senate, many presidents’ cabinets, and other vital roles in our government. Many women have tried and some have come close, but, no woman has ever been able to grab the most illustrious role, the President of the United States. For that matter, no woman has been elected Vice President of the United States. Women will continue to try until they prevail and are chosen to serve as the President of the United States.
