Today I feel proud to be an American. As cheesy as that sounds, I do. I feel proud that my voice and my opinion counts. With all the unstable political climates out there in the world today, to live in a place where every 4 years, we have the power to effect change feels especially powerful.
I think back to only 50 short years ago, when not all people in this country could vote. I think back to the men and women that have come before me that worked to change policies so that all Americans, regardless of gender or ethnicity could vote, and I feel very fortunate.
Today feels very important. Today feels exciting. Today feels hopeful.
