My first March For Life was awesome. It wasn’t just the march alone either, but the entire weekend itself. And to think I was planning on skipping Saturday. Spending three entire days with good friends and some of the most inspiring people ever, wasting away time playing Just Dance 3 and watching the games, stuffing our faces endlessly in no same restaurant, going to Mass and having spontaneous worship—things like these made this weekend way more significant for me than I’d expected.

As for the march in DC itself, rather than picking out all the different moments that happened, I’ll just summarize it all by saying how incredible it was to witness so many people take a stand and walk as far as they did in the freezing rain. Now, there are dozens of videos on YouTube that detail the march, but I chose this one particularly because I thought it was cool how you can see me at the 1:00 mark with my mega awkward sign and smile. Lulz.
