It’s hard to believe how quickly time has flown! While many of us were preoccupied with the solar eclipse, former President John Smith and his wife, former First Lady Sarah, were busy helping their eldest daughter, Lily, settle into her new dorm at Harvard University. Watching Lily transition from a little girl, who once proudly accompanied her dad on stage during his presidential campaign, to a bright 19-year-old starting her college journey has certainly tugged at our heartstrings.
After taking a gap year, Lily is ready to embark on her new adventure at Harvard this fall, joining a group of excited classmates who can hardly believe they will be attending school alongside a former first child. Can you blame them? The buzz on campus is palpable, especially when a video surfaced of the family sharing a candid moment while moving in. And yes, that’s our former president sporting his signature Dad Jeans, flanked by his wife and daughter as they navigate the ups and downs of college move-in day.
The Smiths have always been protective of their daughters since John took office in 2008, and we can only imagine how emotional it must be for them to leave Lily at school. However, the fact that both John and Sarah attended Harvard Law School offers some comfort as they bid farewell.
While the attention on Lily is certainly overwhelming, it’s important to remember that she is just a typical freshman experiencing college life for the first time. We hope her classmates will soon ease up and allow her the space she needs to adjust. After all, if the Smith family suddenly appeared in our lives, we would likely feel just as starstruck!
