The beginning of the end

So here it is, I'm back in school. For my last semester. And let me tell you about the first day of school.

It was actually cancelled. Due to the Tucson shootings, which killed 6 and left Congress woman Gabby Giffords in critical condition, President Obama was coming to the U for a memorial service.

Together We Thrive- Tucson and America

getting full!
The Obamas
Some of my favorite quotes:
Heroism is here, in the hearts of so many of our
fellow citizens, all around us, just waiting to be summoned.

The loss of these wonderful people should make
every one of us strive to be better.
To be better in our private lives, to be better
friends and neighbors and coworkers and parents.

And I believe that for all our imperfections,
we are full of decency and goodness, and that
the forces that divide us
are not as strong as those that unite us.

I want to live up to her expectations.
I want our democracy to be as good as Christina imagined it.
I want America to be as good as she imagined it.
All of us -– we should do everything we can
to make sure this country lives up to our children’s expectations.

No matter your political affiliation, President Obamas speech was moving and incredible. I am proud to have him represent our country, he knows when to be there for the people.

American.
