My trip to DC for Obama’s 1st Inauguration

article image placeholderInauguration Day at the National Mall 12 years ago
So I wanted to share this picture with everybody that actually ended up being on the front page of my high school newspaper back in the year 2009. Now, twelve years ago, Barack Obama was inaugurated for the first time as President of the United States. I was lucky enough. And I've mentioned this a few times on Swell to chaperone a group of 8th graders to the capital as well as to New York. It was about a week long trip, and we really made the most of it

A truly unforgettable trip.

And he is euphoric to see some of the things that are happening now with an air of inclusion. So we'll see how things go, but definitely much more of an upbeat vibe. I guess I can say that. Thank you again

Hey, Tommy, it's so good to hear that your son is finding that feeling once again after other last four years, I was a middle school teacher for several years, and I got to be a teacher through the entirety of the Trump presidency. Well up until the last six months or so a year or so, actually. But it was really sad to see how many students that were at one point, very interested in the political process, sort of. That interest really died down
