I am so incredibly proud of my awesome Dad! He gave an interactive presentation not once, but four times today in front of probably the toughest crowd a guest speaker can have, high school students. We are pretty much the same person, my dad and I, so I understand how difficult speaking can be for him. He, however, has had a couple more years of experience than I have...so...yeah...

I thought I knew a lot about the Secret Service, but I seriously learned a lot today during the four times that I heard the presentation. This was also the first time that I had gotten to hear him speak as a part of his job, and I thought he did really well! I received positive feedback and it sparked conversation in almost all of my classes for a couple of days afterwards. My US History teacher has been waiting for this day to come since he first found out about my dad's job on the first day of school, and he seemed to enjoy the day much like someone would enjoy getting to spend the morning with their favorite celebrity or superhero. But I am kind of biased...so...

ANYWAY

I really enjoyed getting to spend the morning and the majority of the school day assisting with the presentation (not just a fun way to get out of class for the day) as the "White House photographer". Someone even thought that I was really a White House photographer...so...that was pretty cool...
