I just wanted to share Hillary's touching concession speech, in case anyone would like to read it.
Reading her speech filled me with an tumultuous cascade of emotions, ranging from respect and sorrow. However, I feel that one of the most important messages that Hillary shared was the importance of not losing hope.
As she noted, "This is painful and it will be for a long time". However, this does not mean that we should lose in our country, the American people and in our ability as a society to work together for a brighter future.
Over the next 4 years, it is crucial that our country comes together and works together to facilitate positive change. She reminds us that although it may be difficult when contemplating her loss and what it represented, she asks us all to "never stop believing that fighting for what's right is worth it."
Although the glass ceiling may not have shattered this week, it is now hanging in tatters. I am confident that the efforts of Hillary Clinton will inspire students/youth throughout our entire nation on the importance of bravery, determination and most importantly hope.
I just wanted to end with her finals words, which are recognizing how important it is for us "work together with respect for our differences, strength in our convictions and love for this nation, our best days are still ahead of us".
