meet Jimmy Carter

I’m going on vacation to Atlanta this summer and I plan to at the very least go to his presidential library. Maybe I can write him a little letter and we can meet up :)

I got advice from several people about how to get in touch with Pres. Carter but I haven’t done anything about it yet.

Although I have not been exactly making progress on this goal I did get to see President Clinton yesterday at the Daily Show which was pretty awesome!!!! We waited in line for hours and scored front row seats. It was so cool to see a president so closely!!!

I was trying to explain this to my co-workers who are not Clinton fans but they didn’t seem to get it. There is such a select group of men who have held this position and to get to see them in person is just amazing. I felt even more patriotic and inspired then I have felt in a while.

I really have to get going on this goal because Jimmy Carter is the epitome of inspiration to me!!!!!!

If I were asked to list my heroes who are living- President Carter would be at the top of the list! I admire all of the work that he has done as a humanitarian and a diplomat since he has been out of office. I think that although his presidency is not seen as one of the most successful, he had many ideas that were ahead of his time and that if he had been elected to a second term he could have really changed American politics.

I’ve been thinking for a while about how to get to meet him-even to just shake his hand. So on a lark I asked how to meet him on Yahoo Answers (an insanely addictive site where people ask and answer each other’s questions). They suggested writing him a letter and so I think that I am going to do just that. Even if I can’t meet him, getting a letter from him would be really wonderful!
