Saying Goodbye to President Obama

For those of us who are young adults, the only president we have really grown up with has been President Barack Obama. We have been insanely lucky to grow up listening to his speeches, looking up to Michelle and seeing his beaming smile. How do we say goodbye to President Obama while simultaneously brace ourselves for the incoming president? Let us look back on some of Obama’s most inspiring, powerful, and genuine moments that made him a president that gave us hope.
