1. The reason your teachers gave you this as a assignment is so you remember it. Remember her. This speech will go down in history as one of the best. This young lady talked to everyone in her speech. I know she gave me hope that we can get this country back better than it was. She gave me hope in the younger generation because i had been questioning it a lot lately. Actually questioning the heart, soul and the sanity of this great country. But she brought it to the front row. Remember her. We have another Maya Angelou here. I know she would be so proud of this young speaker.

2. What a spectacular young woman.

29. Today, I felt inspired to read and listen to "The Hill We Climb," and now I am literally crying with tears in my eyes. I don't cry at many things, but I am crying as the words of this poem resonate within me. With all of the disease, division, and death of last year and this one, this poem is quite timely. Thank you, Amanda, for this poem that you have given as a gift to the world. Thank you for voicing all of the feelings we've felt over these years in particular. Thank you. Much love to you! <3

30. Good poem but disagree with some of the propaganda in it that separates Americans, and I dislike that it was used at a biden's inauguration. Republicans want good things for all Americans too. To say otherwise is just pandering bullshit people somehow believe. Look at all the people behind her, stuck up, dressed like they're from the 60s, white rich politicians and lawers. They somehow know the struggles of minorities.. come on. Poor Republicans are more in touch with average democrats than those politicians. She should have said screw these people behind me and let's come together and tell our politicians what to do.
