Political Quotes

“I can say from having worked with this class during the course of this year, they are not quitters. The class knows, as well as I do, that it has been a tough year. There have been some ups and downs within the page school group, but that will not be the defining thing they will remember. They will remember, I think, the more positive experiences that they have had here, and none of them have been quitters. They have stuck with this. It has been tough at times and not just tough physically to do this job, and there are times when you wonder about whether you should quit. I can remember when I started this experience I dreamed of becoming a page, and then the day came and suddenly I was flying off to Washington, DC, and I was a scared little kid. But I am glad I stuck with it because I think it has been one of the defining experiences of my life. I hope you take away from this an understanding of the complexity of our Government; that it is a very complex place.”
