It was going to be special to me no matter what, but to see it through the eyes of a 9 year old...they clapped each time the people on TV clapped, they chanted "Obama" along with the crowd, they cheered each time they saw Obama's beautiful daughters. What a neat day for them - a day I hope they will remember when they are my age.
I teared up a bit, but managed to keep it in control. What a powerful day for our country. Good things to come, I'm sure.
Obama...Obama....Obama.
President Obama. Pinch me.
What a wonderful memory for you, too. Glad you could share it with your students!
ReplyDeleteWhat a positive memory for them! I don't remember having such a powerful and positive political experience as a kid.
