You keep on what your doing. Im about to be a freshman and Im trying to make a last minute decision btwn Hampton U and Benedict (which was originally the plantation where my family was owned). This vid really helps in that decision so thanks. It also helps erase all doubts I had about whether or not this country is ready for a black president. Obama 08!

I wish you the best and....I know you will make it in life......Thanks That inspired me!

Man, regardless of who the president is, you will be successful.... as a matter of fact when will you be running? Very good video...

I ain't even american but I wanna vote for him ! Go Obama,world needs a change and u can make it !!

Before I saw this in January 08, I was unsure if I was "political" enough to volunteer for a campaign. Like Josh, I'm just a young person who was previously apathetic. But after watching Josh & his friends give their time & energy, I felt like I should do something too. I just wanted to say thanks. This video inspired me to "Roll up my sleeves and get to workin." After almost 4 months campaigning, and I am 100% certian that Obama inspires young people the way no politician has in decades.

Very Inspiring

Joshua's story is an amazing testimony and if you think that's something...Joshua will be attending HARVARD LAW SCHOOL on a FULL SCHOLARSHIP in the fall of 2008!

This is so inspiring. It sends out a positive message, not only to the young people, but to all age groups - We are our brothers and sisters keeper!

amazing so inspiring

Thank you Josh for sharing your story with us. This is so inspiring and uplifting. This is what the campaign is all about. "WE THE PEOPLE" We can make the difference and remember what Senator Obama has always said. WE ARE WHAT WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR" and if we work hard and support Senator Obama for President of these United States we can make this a better world for ALL of us. OBAMA '08

this is incredible

Great story! Don't give the credit to a magical being in the sky though Joshua, this is YOUR doing, you pulled yourself up and YOU chose to strive for change.

Wow. I feel and share your love of Senator Obama. Beautiful video. I wish all the doubters and lovehaters could see this little gem with an open heart. Obama '08!

Thanks for all of the support !!!

ok why is the only an american dream? like there the only one who dream wake up call other peploe besides americans. p.s sorry if this sounds rude

President Obama 08' Change is coming...A change we can believe in!

Thank you Josh for your insight..

This is so telling. I wish the MSM would watch this so they could understand what we understand about Barack! Keep up the great work. WOW! you mt Obama!!!

Is Stroman short for STRONG MAN? It takes a really strong man to overcome the types of obstacles you have overcome. I know you will accomplish your life-long goals. You will pull into the driveway of your home to witness your children playing. Just keep doing what you're doing and you will prevail. Thank You! May God Bless You and keep you.

Good job Josh !

Thank you Joshua, this is an inspiring video. You could have taken a different path, but through God's grace, you are on the right path to success. God Bless you and Barack Obama!

Josh is awesome. I was really inspired by this whole video. I was a Clinton supporter, but Barack got my vote here in CA last night. But it wasn't till today that I saw this video. I obviously made the right decision... I hope we see more of Josh. He's great!

This should be required viewing in every middle/high school in this country. Joshua is a wonderful role model for all young people. This is such a moving story. Now, will someone please bring me a tissue!

Such an inspirational video. I'm putting it up on my blog now. There is nothing more important to me than helping to bash negative stereotypes. My husband is a proud, intelligent, hard working African American man, and I can't wait to show him this when he gets home from work. WAY to go, JOSHUA and all of the other Joshuas out there! OBAMA 08!

Pure Style!!!! Joshua Stroman for President 2015
