As most of you know President Obama held a nation wide speech directed to all students across the entire country today. As I am now an emerging part of the american school system I watched this broadcast during lunch. I thought the speech was very interesting and powerful, but that is not the subject of this post. The point is that while watching, a television news crew came to Wilson High to video tape the students watching the video and their reaction. I was able to find this video online and posted it below (Another cool thing is that he delivered his speech from Arlington! The school that he was about is just a little west of us. It was so crazy to watch it and realize that I LIVE in Arlington!). This is a really cool video, not because of the focus on Obama, but that it shows you what Wilson High School looks like!! I was so excited to share it so you can see where I am spending my days. I think my favorite part of the school is the amzing hallways with the arches. And even more exciting is that they filmed this in the classroom that I will eventually start teaching in, so you really get to see where I am spending my time while I am at school everyday. I hope dad notices an interesting flag that is hung in my classroom once the other teacher that shares our room discovered I am a BYU student.

I was waiting with baited breath for your inevitable cameo. You've attained District stardom in mere days, Leigh! Well played.
I have a big grin on my face every day because you are in Washington DC, taking advantage of fantastic opportunities. Way to go !! P.S. You looked professional, not like a student, and real cute in the video.
