Virginia McLaurin dreamed of meeting President Obama for years and finally got her chance last week.
The 106-year-old excitedly danced her way toward the Obamas after she arrived at the White House for a Black History Month reception.
McLaurin was an unstoppable force during a private meeting with the President, who told her to “slow down.”
Cane in hand, McLaurin rushed the First Lady and the 44th President of the United States for a hug and an impromptu dance party in the Blue Room.
“I thought I would never live to get in the White House,” McLaurin said in the video, which was shared by the Obama administration on Sunday. “And I tell you, I am so happy.”
McLauren was honored at the age of 104 for volunteering 40 hours a week to students with mental health problems and this is when her dream to meet Obama came into the lime light. She was invited to black history month for her meeting with Obama and obviously because she is a part of black history in her own way.
