The inauguration was so cool. There were a lot of people there. We sang the National Anthem with so much pride. The music was great; Yo-Yo Ma and the other musicians were playing music by John Williams. I think I would prefer Ken Ford to play in my inauguration if I want to become president one day. I couldn’t believe how many people were there! There were so many people at the National Mall this morning. To think that I was there the night before is exciting because I stood where history was made. People were even walking across the Reflection Pool. I hear MTV might be recording at the Youth Ball, I really hope it is ours!
