I actually got the scholarship.
I mean, without it, I'd have graduated with hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt.
So part of that was in the summer, I had to work in Detroit.
I lived in a little room by a cement plant.
Not theirs, but I mean, that's all I could afford.
It's very romantic.
Very, very romantic.
And the person who owned the house said, you know, hey, I'm having a party.
You're not invited.
I'm going to fix you up with someone tonight.
And that turned out to be my husband.
And so it was a blind date is how we very first met.
So the essence of it would be
doing something hard or meaningful, but in a positive way.
I would also tell you, I hope one day I'm remembered for how I did things, not just for what I did.
I think that could almost be more important.
And I think it's a choice we can all make.
So the essence to me of good power, if I had a contrast good to bad, let's say, would be that first off, you have to embrace and navigate tension.
This is the world we live in.
And by embracing tension, not running from it, you would bridge divides that unites people, not divides them.
