Does it matter that I shook hands with Obama in middle school?

Hey guys, as the title suggests, I went to the Whitehouse for an orchestra performance when I was 11 and shook hands with Obama.

I know that you aren’t meant to include middle school accomplishments on college applications, but I don’t know if this is a different case. I’m basically just asking if I should find a way to include this in my application or just forget about it entirely.

By the way, I’m pretty sure my orchestra probably only chose me to go because I was the only black kid, and it would look good for them. Thanks.
