Counting down to the new year, former President Barack Obama uses social media to remind the nation, and the world, that if we look for the good we will find it. It’s there in countless stories around the country by countless Americans. The Nobel Peace Prize laureate also reminds us that together, yes, we can make a difference and change this world in 2018. The 44th POTUS begins his Twitter message here…
“As we count down to the new year, we get to reflect and prepare for what’s ahead. For all the bad news that seemed to dominate our collective consciousness, there are countless stories from this year that remind us what's best about America.”
The first story is about a wedding planner in Houston.
The second story of good news is about a pro-football player who donates all of his salary.
And the third story is about a 10-year-old with a mission to help the homeless.
Barack Obama ends his thread with words of strength, unity and resistance.
“All across America people chose to get involved, get engaged and stand up. Each of us can make a difference, and all of us ought to try. So go keep changing the world in 2018.”
