Quote of the Day 4/8/2015

“Without a doubt, being raised by immigrant parents taught me about the importance of public service. Both my parents were born into poverty, and were only given the bare necessity to make a living: an education. My grandparents told my parents not to pay them back, but to pay it forward by using their education to change the world for the goodwill of others. That’s how my parents’ American Dream began, and how it continues to exist through me.”
