And Barack and I were raised with so many of the same values like you work hard for what you want in life. That your word is your bond that you do what you say you're going to do. That you treat people with dignity and respect even if you don't know them and even if you don't agree with them.
I learned that we can do anything but we can't do everything... at least not at the same time. So think of your priorities not in terms of what activities you do but when you do them. Timing is everything.
