Two nights ago I didn’t sleep at all. I got in line at 4 AM to get a ticket to see President Obama speak. “Those Who Stay Will Be Champions”. I am a Champion. I waited nearly 7hrs in the freezing cold Early Thursday morning to get my ticket. I was around the 1,000th person of 3,000 tickets they were handing out. This morning I woke up at 6 AM to get in line by 7 AM to see the president speak at 10 AM. Was outside in the freezing cold another hour and a half. Every single second was worth it. He is an amazing speaker and I am honored to say I was there.
“You inspire me. You’re here at Michigan because you believe in your future. You’ve got the whole world before you. And you embody that sense of possibility that is quintessentially American. We do not shrink from challenges. We stand up to them. And we don’t leave people behind; we make sure everybody comes along with us on this journey that we’re on.” - President Barack Obama, Ann Arbor, January 27th, 2012
