Quote

I had thought about becoming a civil rights lawyer, but I gave it up.

I longed to break out of the system and do different roles.

The worst job I ever had was when I had to try to sell a service for medical waste treatment.

I have had a career in public service.

My whole life has been dedicated to public service.

My plans were to practice law and then possibly go into public service.

Going back to high school and college, I believed I would be involved in public service. I literally could not conceptualize anything else.

Help others and give something back. I guarantee you will discover that while public service improves the lives and the world around you, its greatest reward is the enrichment and new meaning it will bring your own life.

I should have been trying to build a career, rather than leaving it in the hands of somebody else.
