What a powerful story. I didn’t vote for him, but this truly was a remarkable day in history. And I’m honestly hoping that he proves me wrong about him and wins me over. I’m open. Thanks for that link

Thanks Melissa, I missed a lot on NPR on Tuesday, but joyfully watched the inauguration and was (still am!) so moved and proud.

That story on NPR gave me the chills. Then, at noon I got chills again watching Obama’s speech.

As a teacher, it was extraordinarily inspiring to sit in an auditorium with children from ages 5-12, all watching the inauguration ceremony on a huge screen and clapping and cheering for our new president. As I told my students, no matter who they (or their parents) supported during the election, it is impossible not to get caught up in the hope and optimism that this new chapter has brought our country.
