My grandmother practiced what she preached, and she truly lived her life for others.
I am so very fortunate to have found that best prize as a servant of the public. And while I don't know what awaits me next in life's journey, I pray that I will find a way to continue to work hard at work worth doing.
She taught me at a very young age that the real joy in life is giving back to your community and helping those around you.
