A fifth grader from Boulder, Colorado, met Hillary Clinton earlier this week, and a photo of her heartfelt reaction immediately went viral.
Just check out that look of utter joy and wonder washing over Macy Rodman’s face. Do you remember the first time you met one of your role models (if you were ever so lucky)? It probably looked something like that.

The photo, which sparked national coverage, was taken at a campaign event for Colorado senator, Mark Udall. Clinton actually picked Friday and family out of the crowd, as if this moment weren’t magical enough.
Although she won’t be old enough to vote for the former U.S. Secretary of State, should she decide to run for President again in 2016, Macy told 9News that she hopes to one day see a female Commander in Chief.
“I want people to know that your gender doesn’t determine what kind of power you have,” Macy said. “Like how great you can be… I just want people to know girls are awesome, too.”
We couldn’t have said it any better ourselves.
