I love musicals and I love history. So when I first heard about Broadway's Lin-Manuel Miranda's musical "Hamilton," I got giddy. When I heard that it was a rap and hip-hop infused musical about America's founding fathers, I got even giddier. Because who doesn't love a rapping George Washington?

Miranda's take on our First Treasury Secretary, is just inspiring. Did I mention it was a rap and hip-hop infused musical? So catchy and so fun!

I have not seen "Hamilton." I want to see "Hamilton" so very badly. Do I think it will ever happen? Probably not. It does not change my obsession with it.

I have learned so many lessons from the musical. Each of them tells not only my story, but the story of America.

"I'm Not Throwing Away My Shot"

I have been so lucky to have been given the gift of ambition. I know what I want and I always work as hard as I can to get there. The first time I heard this song, it becomes a power anthem for me. I have fought for everything that I have achieved. I have worked hard, I cried a lot of tears, and I laughed a lot of laughs, but through it all, I never stop and I never threw away my shot. Because just like my country I'm young, scrappy and hungry.

"The Battle Of Yorktown: 1781"

So there is nothing profound about this, but I never could actually remember when the Battle of Yorktown actually happened. Thanks, Hamilton!

"History Has Its Eyes On You"

This one gets me every single time. What will I be remembered for? Who will tell my story? What am I doing today that will make a lasting impact? Each day I get the chance to influence the lives of 150 preteens and teenagers. During those days, I get to teach them more than just music; I get to teach them how to be better people and citizens of the world. More than that, I am living in a time when my voice in government matters so much to my students. They aren't old enough to vote, but I am. In my state, there has been a group of legislatures that have held a grip on education and funding. People were tired. I was tired of it, so my vote was a vote to fight back, to take back my state and give my students a voice.

I wonder if our Founding Father's felt like history had its eyes on them? I wonder if they actually thought that this experiment that they started would last? Last week I voted in an election and I'm a woman. I'm sure that is something that they never thought possible. That is what makes America, America. Our story is not done yet. America is still unwritten, the next chapter is waiting to be penned. But who will write it? History has it's eyes on you, make it them remember all the amazing things that you do and that you will do.
