La verdad es una persona a seguir no solo por su trayectoria sino por su ejemplo que aun a su grado de avance en la vida y de preparacion educativa, no le basto con ello y fue por mas, un doctorado digo sea de cual sea el area no es sencillo llegar a obtenerla y a mantenerla, pues conlleva dedicacion, esfuerzo, sacrificio y amor, ¡Toda una inspiracion!

I felt that this speech spoke directly to me. Funny how God works. It was life/path changing and you are an amazing person!

Outstanding!

It looks like Angie has remained the down to earth mid-western girl I met on an Indiana golf course some 36 years ago. I wonder if she has pictures of the dress she and her mom made for prom?
