12 years ago this week, I turned 27. That week I was in New Hampshire.
I was the Deputy Political Director for The Obama Campaign in NH. The primary was months away but I was a wreck because I would find out if I passed the New York Bar exam and could practice law after the campaign.

8 years ago, I turned 31. I sat in my office at the White House.
