Post-Election Thoughts

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Clark chapter.

In the wake of all that has happened this week, there are many strong emotions and feelings that people are trying to deal with right now. HC Clark asked for some responses regarding things that give our readers hope for the future of our nation. 

Putting your political affiliations aside, what is something that gives you hope about the next four years?
