Watch the viral video of the 106-year-old woman who met President Barack and Michelle Obama in the White House.

Virginia McLaurin danced like a schoolgirl and was overcome with joy when she met the Obamas in the White House. The viral video of the centenarian meeting the President and the First Lady during last week's Black History Month went viral after it was posted on the White House's Facebook page on Sunday night. It has garnered over 46 million views worldwide. Watch the video below:

MaLaurin was born in 1909 in South Carolina as a seamstress and has been widowed for more than 70 years. She went to the White House to celebrate Black History Month.

"I thought I would never live to get in the White House," she said.

"I tell you, I am so happy," looking at the President and then to his wife. "A black president, yay, and his black wife."

McLaurin had tried for years to meet with the president. In fact, there was a December 2014 petition that clamored for the President to meet with the centennarian.

"I didnt think I would live to see a Colored President because I was born in the South and didn't think it would happen," she wrote. "I am so happy and I would love to meet you and your family if I could."

She detailed the times before Herbert Hoover became the 31st President of the country and back when she lost her husband in 1941. She suggested to come over to the White House to "make things easier" as the President is busy.

When asked what's next for her now that she has met the president, McLaurin said: "I don't know. I could just die happy."

For the past 20 years, McLaurin has volunteered to work with physically and mentally disabled students at the Melvin Sharpe Health Schools. The kids depend on her for teaching, feeding and even raising them.

"I love the kids," she said. "You ought to hear them in the morning when I come in and they say, 'grandma!Grandma!' and I say, 'I'm here, I'm here.'"

When asked how long she'll continue volunteering, she said that she'll do so as long as the school allows her. In 2012, she received an award and a standing ovation from the crowd for volunteer community service in Washington from Mayor Vincent Gray. In her speech at that time, she wished to meet with President Obama.
