Madam Speaker. I rise today in recognition of Georgia MillerMcCorkle. who immigrated to the United States in 1980 from Trinidad. West Indies. where as a child she always excelled in school. getting merit cards along with excellent report cards. As a child. she was asked. "What do you want to be when you grow up?" Her answer was always. "I want to be a teacher." At first. Ms. McCorkle settled in this country. got married. and raised five children: Sherwin. Vonetta. Fredericka. Tristan. and Robmesh. During that time. she worked at jobs fulfilling the basic home needs and helping to pay the bills. but something was missing.
