And she's spoken in an interview with The New York Times about how that made her tough, how it made her really be willing to sort of hold her own.
And she's kind of a do-gooder.
She went to the University of Kansas and then she went to teach for America.
And she spoke at length with me about the kind of do-gooder motivations for that.

They're learning something else.
