1:49 p.m. Tuesday
Washington, D.C.
As soon as the event started, everyone was silent and attentive. When Obama got sworn in, everyone was silent until he said “so help me God,” then everyone erupted into cheering.
When he started to give his speech, everyone was hanging on every word he was saying. It was completely silent except when he would get excited. Everyone started cheering. Whenever he made a good point, the whole crowd would just cheer.
We were pretty far from the actual ceremonies. We were in front of the Washington Monument.
It was the most amazing thing I have ever been to. It’s certainly the most important thing I have ever been to. My classmates all loved it. They were all captivated as I was. It was definitely worth it.
From here we’re going to Marvin Center at George Washington University.
