 You know, I'm a Latina from the South Bronx, and an individual who was, when I was growing up was told, you know, you don't stand a chance, you don't speak well, you don't look right, you're not going to make it. And I was really determined to be, I was motivated to be my own boss and to succeed, became an entrepreneur and I understood the importance of education. And because you cannot limit the mind and the NEA Foundation helps people educate our children all over the country no matter what their social economic environment is. We help them become critical thinkers, we help them become individuals and an educated population makes our society grow and we're able to compete globally. So it is essential, it's essential that we support public education and that's what the NEA Foundation does best. So public education affords everyone the opportunity for access. Clearly all the schools are not equal, clearly all the schools don't have the same tools. Clearly we have issues in some of our cities, but that could be remedied by strong political influence and a real commitment to our society to fund the public schools in all the states, in all the communities, so that everybody has the same opportunity to succeed. You know, so I admire the educators that I've met throughout this country. They are phenomenal, they are doing this every single day. They contribute to the well-being of our society, that's what teachers do. So I admire and respect them and I think that's where my passion comes from, you know, supporting teachers and educators and public education.
