For most of my life, I did deliberately lead a private life and inadvertently led a public life.
The first sort of big present I remember getting from Santa Claus was quite a small telescope that I remember going into our backyard with my parents and figuring out how to assemble, and staring at the night sky, just for hours, with both of my parents.
My dad had always been a big decaf coffee drinker. But my mom had always been more of a tea drinker. So I grew up around a lot of tea. And I also really love tea. But I'm not one of those people who has ever felt the need to choose between coffee and tea. I think that is a completely false dichotomy.
Oxford is wonderful. I'm having a great time. We do go out, but I still try to spend most of my time studying in the library.
Your mother embarrasses you in front of maybe a couple hundred people. My mother embarrasses me in front of millions.
I think that there are more opportunities for young women in America than there are in Tanzania. But I also think there are many of the same problems.
I was always deeply aware that I was living in history.
I always knew I was the center of my parents.
How we use these surpluses in this moment of prosperity will determine America's future for decades to come. Nothing will more surely determine it than making the right choices,
My parents are not shy, clearly publicly and otherwise, in expressing their hopes that they will soon be grandparents.
My parents were definitely on the incentive side of parenting. Like, they told me that my father had learned to read when he was three. So, of course, I thought I had to, too.
I have voted in every election that I have been qualified to vote in since I turned 18.
I just hope that I will be as good a mom to my child, and hopefully children, as my mom was to me.
Service is a deceptively profound way to prove not only what you can do for the world, but what you can tell the world to expect from you and your ambitions.
