"Don't cry because it's over; smile because it happened."
As we prepare for the end of an era in American History, this week I'm most grateful that I was here to be part of it.
Nothing can erase the memories I have of driving down to DC for the first inauguration. Of standing in the freezing cold, making friends with strangers, and the general energy of celebration and hopefulness that was in the air.
Nothing can erase my pride at seeing and hearing young minority children dream bigger and reach higher because they had role models in White House in whom they saw themselves.
The past eight years were historical, and is an experience that I will always hold dear. I was there.
