Obama surprising these excited teens at school will give you so much joy
There's a lot of terrifying stuff going on right now.
So if you need a ray of sunshine, just watch these students absolutely lose it when former President Barack Obama walks into the room.
I mean, these teenagers at McKinley Technological High School in Washington are FREAKING OUT.
Especially this kid on the right.
He'll never be as excited about anything as he was about Obama walking into that classroom.
“These young people that I met at McKinley Tech today are the reason I’m hopeful about the future,” Obama wrote on Instagram after meeting with the kids Friday. “To all the young people headed back to school around the country: Make us proud. You’re the next generation of leaders, and we need you.”
