Each year I host a leadership summit in my district, and my biggest advice to young people is get experience. Get your foot in the door.

I take four planes a week, honestly. You know, I am for intelligence screening.

Mine is a story about a teenage single mother who struggled to keep her young family afloat. It's a story about a young woman who was given a precious opportunity to work her way up in the world.
