Thank you for your service President Obama! I appreciate the work you did to help those in poverty who struggle with addiction, mental health, cognitive limitations, etc. Those who I have personally witnessed are unable to help themselves and need assistance to obtain insurance, treatment, and other resources. Without help, they would have just given up. Thank you for reshaping the LBGTQ community, for having the American people think about being politically correct before we speak, and reminding all us of humanity so we can see everyone as our brother or sister instead of divided by race, religion, country, gender, etc. I have learned to go outside my own perspective to take a glimpse of another's perspective. I have learned to use my voice to stand for those whose voice is not heard. I have learned to listen to both sides of a debate and to empathize before taking a personal stance of either side. With that being said, I embrace what President elect Trump has to offer to the American people and will take this era to focus more on the middle class and my family to make sure we are taken care of and that our future is protected. I will continue my work on the side and address every individual's needs with empathy, yet with instilling boundaries, and address every issue with thought and patience. I will challenge myself to be a better version of me and continue to teach others to be a better version of themselves. Today as I watch the Inauguration, I feel hopeful, humble, and blessed. We all have a purpose in this life whether in our work, family, and/or community to make an impact and perpetuate change, but we have to commit to doing it together! Interdependence will make America great again!
