Due to absurd scheduling conflicts and unforeseen diseases, I had a hectic semester that did not allow me the opportunity to attend a Common Experience Event. However, last semester, when I was but a senior in high school visiting my brother in San Marcos, I was lucky enough to be witness to Barack Obama's speech in Sewell Park. This was in late February, in preparation for the Democratic caucus against Hillary Clinton. Despite pronouncing San Marcos incorrectly, it became abundantly clear to all present that he was to be the next President. On the right is the only photograph I could find from it. As best as I can remember, I was in the row behind that goofy guy with his hands up. Obama's charisma and drive stood out immensely, and all but solidified my choice this November for President.
