Jill Biden

I knew that it was harder to unite two lives than I had imagined growing up. I knew that relationships could be fragile.

I think it's important how I come across to my students. I want them to see how professional women dress.

I have visited classrooms near military bases to learn more about what schools were doing to support their military kids. I met with teachers overseas to learn about the particular needs they face thousands of miles from America. And I listened to my own granddaughter, who dealt with her father's yearlong deployment to Iraq.

I've always believed you've got to steal the joyful moments when you can.

There were times when I actually prayed not to get married.

I think I am a tough grader, because I feel like it's my job to teach them to write well. I hope my students say I'm a fair teacher.

I have always had a great deal of respect and admiration for Eleanor Roosevelt. She was a true humanitarian and champion of Women's Rights and Civil Rights.

We have asked a lot of our military families and I believe they deserve the very best efforts of each of us to show them how much we appreciate their service to our country.

As a political spouse, I've found that my stoicism often serves me well.

I never took a political science course.

People know Joe Biden. They've seen the strong parts of his character and how resilient he is.

The role I have always felt most at home in is being 'Dr. B.'
