It’s a feeling that’s been absent from my heart for the past four years. Euphoria, tranquility, assurance. Yes, this is what it feels like to have a real president—one with honor, integrity and empathy. When President-elect Joe Biden, with Vice President-elect Kamala Harris by his side, delivered his acceptance speech on Nov. 7, 2020, I could sense a shift from the chaos and divisiveness of the current administration to decency, civility and normalcy. Once more, character will matter. Values will matter. Science will matter. We will matter, and decorum will be the flavor of the day—every day. Celebrate and rejoice in the healing power of change.

For the past several weeks, I have been volunteering at the mass vaccination clinic at UNM's The Pit, a basketball stadium. The first week, I was a "greeter". I got a red and silver pompom and directed folks down a hallway to their vaccination stations. The second shift, I was a "runner" and made sure all the stations had supplies. Last time, I was a "scribe", and helped check folks in prior to their shots. Not gonna lie, I volunteered hoping there would be extra vaccinations at the end of the day. But the clinic was too efficient and there were no leftovers. I was really touched to see so many seniors coming to get vaccinated, and how much care their family members took to make sure they got their shots.
