The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
In the face of that young student who sleeps just three hours before working the night shift, I think about my mom, who raised my sister and me on her own while she worked and earned her degree; who once turned to food stamps but was still able to send us to the best schools in the country with the help of student loans and scholarships. The men and women who gathered there could've heard many things.
They are both passed away now. And it's a lesson we need to remember today - as members of another Joshua generation. That is in Israel's interest, Palestine's interest, America's interest, and the world's interest.

And I think they recognized a part of themselves in me too. I learned that those things I was too weak to accomplish myself, He would accomplish with me if I placed my trust in Him. And when I hear a woman talk about the difficulties of starting her own business, I think about my grandmother, who worked her way up from the secretarial pool to middle-management, despite years of being passed over for promotions because she was a woman.
Thank you, and God bless America.
