President Barack Obama wrote a thank you letter to the American people on Thursday, expressing appreciation to the nation for the chance to serve.
He wrote:
"All that I've learned in my time in office, I've learned from you. You made me a better President, and you made me a better man," Obama wrote on his last day in office before President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration.
The president wrote about times when he witnessed technological and social progress and touched on major events such as the economic crisis.
He also asked Americans to throw themselves into building a better future, "not just when there's an election."
"And when the arc of progress seems slow, remember: America is not the project of any one person,'" the president wrote.

Kanye West was not asked to perform at Donald Trump's inauguration, which will be a "traditionally American" event, the chief organiser has said.
There has been speculation since the star told a concert crowd he would have voted for Mr Trump - if he had voted - and then turned up at Trump Tower.
But Tom Barrack, the Presidential Inaugural Committee chair, told CNN the ceremony is "not the venue" for West.
He said the rapper is "a great guy" but "we haven't asked him". Mr Barrack said: "He considers himself a friend of the president-elect, but it's not the venue.
"The venue we have for entertainment is filled out, it's perfect, it's going to be typically and traditionally American, and Kanye is a great guy but we just haven't asked him to perform. We move on with our agenda."

A female Iranian bodybuilder has been jailed for posting photos of her biceps on her Instagram page.
Although the identity of the person who was arrested is yet to be revealed by authorities, Shirin Nobahari, who is a professional builder and fond of sharing revealing workout photos to her 65K followers on social media, is believed to be the victim. She was one of two women who took part in an international competition and were both reported and warned about selfies which they posted afterward.
According to Mizanonline news agency, she was accused of breaking the Islamic Republic's strict rules on nudity and was locked up in prison because she was unable to post bail of two million rials (£50).

Jennifer Lopez is staying coy about her relationship with Drake. ET's Leanne Aguilera caught up with the 47-year-old actress and Ray Liotta following Wednesday's TCA panel of their hit NBC show, Shades of Blue.
When asked about her new project with Drake, Lopez said, "He just asked me to do a song with him and that's what we've been doing."
"We'll see if it's on his next album," she continued, staying tight-lipped when asked about those romance rumors with the 30-year-old rapper.
Lopez did, however, open up about the new season of her crime drama, revealing she's all about performing her own stunts.
"It can get intense," she explained. "I mean, the scenes that I do towards the end of the season were really, really rough. Lots of fighting and things like that. I'm not afraid. I know everything we do is safe, but when you're acting and you're really in it, you get hurt sometimes."

Gambian President Yahya Jammeh is refusing to step down despite the threat of military intervention by neighbouring states.
Adama Barrow, who beat him in elections last month, is due to be inaugurated as the new president on Thursday, but Mr Jammeh has ignored the deadline.
West African military forces are ready to enforce a transfer of power. Mauritanian President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz failed to break the deadlock at last-minute talks with Mr Jammeh.
Mr Abdel Aziz flew in to the Gambian capital Banjul on Wednesday evening to meet Mr Jammeh before flying on to Dakar airport for further discussions with Mr Barrow and Senegal's President Macky Sall.
"I am now less pessimistic [that Mr Jammeh] will work on a peaceful solution that is in the best interest for everyone," Mr Abdel Aziz said.
Senegalese troops remain stationed at the Gambian border, despite the deadline for Mr Jammeh to stand down passing at midnight.
