The Night Before

Tonight I met with the students and told them "Take a mental picture tomorrow and place it in your memory forever" We can buy buttons, t-shirts and other keepsakes but the very best thing we can take back with us is our memories and our stories. It is easy to go through this day and forget what significance it has on our country. No matter what ones political views tomorrow we are witnessing a very special part of the United States History and dreams. I want these children to be proud of this opportunity, appreciate the day and most of all bring back memories to share with generations. We will be leaving our hotel at 4a.m. to catch the 1st or 2nd Metro out of our city and down to the Capitol Mall where we will be waiting in line for about 3 hours before we enter our silver section. The students and teachers will attend separate Balls in the evening. Can not wait to share our day with you!
