Catie Knier

we want change!!! :D after a previous day of long travels, missing hotel towels, and 4 hours of sleep, we kicked the day off with a very loud alarm clock..! even while missing some sleep, there was such a contagious excitement in the air that no caffeine was needed. On our feet for over 7 hours, legs aching, crowds chanting, we finally got a glimpse of our future president around 11:30, and a heartwarming speech leaving us all looking forward to the next 4 years to come.
Washington dc may be a big city, and even scary at times, but people there have hearts as big as their city... here i have met some of the most social &caring people, even if they are complete strangers! There are people willing to give up their spot on the metro to someone who'd need it more... its absolutely amazing...
more amazing than that is what this entire experience has been... and the best thing is its not over yet!!
