Talk about the hypest crowd. Standing in a diverse sea of people is amazing. You feed off each other's energy. You sway with each other. You all came to that same place at the same time for the same reason. And you know this so all differences are put aside for that moment. For that grand, historical moment. I will forever know that I was a part of history. I was on the National Mall with more than one million other people witnessing Barack Obama get sworn into office. That was truly an unforgettable experience.
I'm sure I surprised a lot of people by how excited I got on election night and as the inauguration approached, because I didn't really seem interested from their point of view. I surprised myself too. But you can't but get caught up in this wave of history making. Knowing that I took part in this is something that I will hold on to forever. I can hardly express how I feel about having the opportunity to be alive in this city at this particular moment in time. To be in the midst of that crowd and feel such unity, all you can do is HOPE that feeling just keeps spreading and CHANGE actually comes. Yes We Can!
