Maxwell Adepoju's Reflection on 2009 Inauguration




The inauguration had to be the most preeminent event that could have ever taken place in my lifetime! And I was truly blessed to have been there; no Jay-Z, Beyonce, or Kanye West event could match up to the prestige of this event. While I basked in the ambiance of euphoria; I realized in the pool of 1.7 million people, that this event is bigger than every single individual in DC, including the man of the hour, President Barack Obama. This event signified anything is possible; that hard work, dedication and belief is all you need to accomplish your dreams. The atmosphere at the event was to die for, it seemed that day that you couldn’t ruin anybody else’s day (unless you told them they couldn’t be at the event). The generosity that seemed from the event was remarkable. A complete stranger bought me a hat while in line because of the conditions of the weather, which I still have today, and will cherish for the rest of my life. That right there was another symbol of change for me that afternoon; which motivated me to become a catalyst for those around me. Change is here America, and we need to embrace it!
