It was
my parents' belief in me and my future and the $5,000 that they had in
the bank that they used to send me here so that I could get a college
degree. I was 16 years old, and now I have the tremendous honor of
standing in this Chamber, the U.S. House of Representatives, in the
greatest country in the world, going from being an immigrant to being a
United States Representative. I want every American--no matter what color you are, no matter
whether you are rural or urban, no matter whether you have money or
don't have money--I want you to have a great public education that you
can go to. That is choice.
