I could almost feel the depression seeping through the television screen. I sat in my mother's hotel room on Ontario Street, downtown Chicago, and watched as my beautiful city was eliminated first round in the 2016 Summer Olympics bid.
But, the darkness has faded, and life must go on. Hopefully Rio can tackle the infrascture, transportation, and economic difficulties the Olympics presents.
I am sad I won't be able to meet Michael Phelps in 2016 (when i'm 28?!) and confess my undying love, but I am praying that the money we would've spent does go towards school and transportation costs.
