My passion for strengthening the community and making peoples' lives better is stronger now than when I first got into politics.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My passion is to create a better society for our future citizens.
I think that passion is the secret ingredient that drives hard work and excellence. My passion is to serve the public: to be in the arena of public policy, to have the opportunity to solve problems for our country, to be in a position where I can make a difference.
I got into politics a little bit by chance, as a person from the first generation of the Solidarity movement.
I've spent the better part of my career in politics and public policy working on and fighting for education reforms.
I have an activist's desire to improve people's lives.
I was raised on the values of speaking up and making a positive difference in a very political family that believed in the importance of public service.
I think I can achieve more outside the political arena.
I have been a lifelong community activist and frankly did not dream of being in public office.
I am passionate. I am political about my country, about what it is, how strong it is, how strong it remains.
What drew me to politics in the first place was the fact that I wanted to have a place to take a stand and use my voice to express what I believed in. But I've no longer got any political aspirations. I feel that as a politician, fifty per cent of people would hate you before you even left the house.
