Monday started out like the others, getting ready for a cold day. However it was not like the others..... Today was the day of the big rally!

Last night when we were getting the secret service walk through, they told us we had no space for anything that we might bring so don’t even bring coats. Because I was late I didn’t hear the part about the secret service not opening the building until about 12 for us workers. It was so cold this day, about 15 degrees and I didn’t bring a coat because it was one of the items they told us we shouldn’t bring so I was freezing right out of the gate. What we interns do for our campaigns is unbelievable.  We got there close to 10 am and walked passed the crowd waiting to go in. There were so many people and people in tents, I couldn’t believe the amount of people here almost 11 hours in advance to see the President. We got to the workers tent and got checked in and helped to check in the volunteers. After we were checked in, we did a lot of standing around. We ran into Josh and Sean two of the other workers/interns that were about the same age as us that have been helping is throughout the week. We sat in the cold for a few hours shivering and shaking until they decided to get us in. Once inside we all got our assignments and went to work. I was stationed at the VIP entrance door and my job was to only let VIP people in to sit behind the President while he was talking. I did that for a few hours and didn’t really let anyone in. I figured as much that the VIP’s would come closer to the beginning of the time that was set for the president to talk. While I was working my door, a man approached without credentials and I turned him down of course. I later came to figure out that it was senator Rick Scott of Florida. Being my senator I felt really embarrassed, however he came back and asked if his senators pin would work as credentials. Since he was obviously a VIP, I let him in without his credentials. The rest of the night was very amazing. After work we were gathered together and put it right behind the president to watch the rally. It was a night that I will never forget this was the first time I ever met the President of the United States.He looks very different in person nothing like how I pictured. He gave a really good speech about his reelection and the things that he has been doing as president. After he left then we all did as well clearing out the arena. Later we were picked up by Jose and he took us back to the hotel to get some sleep for the next day. It was going to be a long cold one as we would be pole standing on behalf of the president.

The Vice President came to talk just before Trump and he talked about the things that they have done for the last 3 years and what there plans are for the future.
 After Vice President Pence finished his speech, it was time for the grand entrance of President Trump. They played "God Bless the USA" as we walked into the room and don't worry, I got a video of it! I loved hearing the energy of the crowd!

After he finished his speech he waved good bye to everyone! I was literally about 20 feet away from our President!
