My marriage is incredibly important to me. It's the place from which I engage in the world every day, and the place to which I return every day.
We grieve for the loss of life, ... I ask you to redouble your resolve and help your neighbors.
I'm always struck by how innately curious kids are about the world around us and how engaged and sensitive they are to what is happening .. and how many kids do want to be engaged and do what to make a difference.
That's not what I want my children to hear. That's not representative of the country that I want my children to grow up in. And so that actually I found far more upsetting as a mom, as a woman, as an American, and even as my mother's daughter than anything they said about my mom.
We proved we could be safe and secure at home, and still have more allies and friends in the world.
Caricatured as navel-gazers, Millennials are said to live for their 'likes' and status updates. But the young people I know often leverage social media in selfless ways.
I'd ask myself, 'What do I think is really unjust?' That should be a starting point for how you engage with the world.
I had seen people who had lost everything and everyone they loved to war, famine, and natural disasters.
For most young Americans I know, 'serving' in the broadest sense now seems like the only thing to do.
Every day at some point I encounter some sort of anti-American feeling.
I believe that engaging in the political process is part of being a good person.
At the fourth grade level, girls at the same percentages of boys say they're interested in careers in engineering or math or astrophysics, but by eighth grade that has dropped precipitously.
I hope telling stories though 'Making a Difference' - as in my academic work and nonprofit work - will help me to live my grandmother's adage of 'Life is not about what happens to you, but about what you do with what happens to you.'
