I accept the calling of my generation to give our children the America that was given to us, with opportunity for the young and security for the old - and I know that we are ready.

I want to show America who I am and inspire young kids.

As an educator, I have always striven to see that the fruits of the American Dream are available to all.

Americans want students to get the best education possible. We want schools to prepare children to become good citizens and members of a prosperous American economy.

The amazing fact is that America is founded on a document. It's a work in progress. It can be tested by each generation.

I think we're the first generation to successfully integrate American society.

In order for America to remain a global leader in innovation and opportunity, we must give our children a solid foundation in math and science.

I strongly support not just citizenship classes but also teaching children how the law works and the many ways it affects their lives.

The most important thing we stressed is that we want those kids to be productive citizens.
