I'm an English teacher, so I'm used to reading and I'm used to reading out loud.
Well, when Joe Biden is president you will no longer see this separation of families along the border. We welcome these families to enter into the United States.
I am an educator.
My students are working one, sometimes two jobs. They have kids. They're going school. They're dealing with real everyday problems. They are inspiring because they're trying to get ahead and make a better life for themselves and their kids.
We can end cancer as we know it.
Well, I'm a runner, and I have to run with Secret Service - even though they can run twice as fast. It took me a while to get used to running with them, because I love the solitary aspect of it. So I have two rules. First, I can't hear their feet. And second, I can't see their shadows.
Cancer has been a dark thread that has run throughout my life. It's taken my friends, my parents. My beautiful son.
The White House is a serious place, with serious people, doing serious work. If you're not careful, it can grind you down.
Well, when I'm out running, people don't recognize me, which is great. I don't feel pressure; I'm not out to beat anybody or hit a certain time. I just do it for the enjoyment of it. I'm doing it for myself.
Most women I know have been harassed in some way. And you never wanted to report it, because you were afraid of losing your job or you felt like, hey, did that just happen? I think it's good that women now... have the courage! Because it's not easy.
I feel that exercise really balances me. Then I layer on the other obligations that I have.
I love the women who are coming back to school and getting their degrees because they're so focused.
We need women to better reflect the social fabric of our society.
People need to realize that community colleges really give you a good education. And they do - that's just a simple fact of it.
You know, cancer is bipartisan. I mean, there are so many people whose lives are touched and changed by cancer that people are willing to work together to find cures, find solutions, make lives better for cancer patients. So I think people put politics aside. This isn't a political thing. This is a life issue.
Let's face it, we really did need something like this in this country to fight childhood obesity.
People have not really noticed community colleges, but they are where students really become successful.
Many Americans don't know anyone in the military, so they aren't aware that, on average, a military child attends six to nine schools by the time he or she graduates from high school. Through each transition, the children have to leave their friends, try out for new sports teams and adjust to a new school community.
On the campaign trail, I have the opportunity to meet people from all walks of life - from residents at a battered women's shelter to mentally handicap children to retirees - and learn about their lives and struggles.
We need good reading programs, and we need equity in schools.
