Political Quotes

“I don't know how many of my colleagues have been to junior colleges in the last year. I don't know how many of my colleagues have been to universities and colleges that have these types of individuals who have started. I go to my community college, and I talk to them. And this young lady with tears in her eyes says, ``I finally am on the edge of opportunity, and that edge is being sharpened by 1 year, and I have to leave education and go to work.'' She said, ``I cannot handle a job, I cannot handle education, I cannot handle my children, unless you give me this opportunity.'' I have looked into the eyes of those who want to do better, who can do better, and we must give them that opportunity so they can have that better life. I hope that the 4,000 in my State have that opportunity for that second year of education, that opportunity to find that job, and that opportunity to make a better life for their children.”
