i m stow tired of listening to politicians over and over again. when, as you said, these are real livelies. my mom couldn t even go see her own mother when she passed away in mexico and there s millions and millions of people waiting for an opportunity to be able to go back and forth, to be able to live free too, be able to work and that s all we re trying to do and they have another opportunity. they can miss it this time around. part of what i found so interesting because i ve spoken with both of you many times is to see your two names on a buy line together. as she talks about the vice president, you have worked with the vice president, you have advised the vice president. you have a sense of what she is and isn t willing to do. am when you suggest this is the role she is going to need to play, is this what you think will play out? i pleevl that the senate democrats, including the majority leader, including
career in law. this was my first choice school. this school uniquely fosters public service to the community. powell s passing came as a shock, especially since the students watched an online talk held by the general just last month. most of you, i think, are not old enough to have gone through he was inspirational. i feel like yes, we mourn him today, but he lives in all of our hearts, and beyond the school walls. and i think yeah, he s an inspiration. wendy is a senior and hopes to join the foreign service. her parents are from nigeria. she s a first generation american, like a lot of ccny s 12,000 students, just like powell. for me, i would say as someone who is also first generation, like, i m in college and doing this for my parents. like, my mom couldn t even go to
pantry on a little stool just in there by myself. because i refused to look at him that way. my mom couldn t have a conversation even though she still knew me. so we would sit on the couch and watch tv. and i would sit with her feet in my lap and pray. i would just pray for grace. but i think that s just part of my defense mechanism. i do not want to see him being an invalid. i don t want to see him degenerating, you know? i don t want to see glenn in that condition, you know? i think i think it s better to die from something else. my mother is young enough, she s in her 60s now, but she s young enough that we don t have any signs of that yet, thank god. it s a very good chance and then i m probably next. so it s it s like let s figure this out, can you? i m 41. figure this out before i m 70,
