It’s easy to get wrapped up in the busy schedules of our current lives. With my days full of meetings, interviews, and talking to voters, the hours seem to just melt away. Despite this, I never want to lose sight of where I came from and how it contributed to who I am today. This is the trailer park I called home for part of my childhood. And in between kicking around empty beer bottles instead of soccer balls, I learned several life lessons: how to live by modest means, the value of a hard day’s work, and that relationships and memories can be worth much more than any material possession. I am lucky. I found a way out of that trailer park. However, many don’t and we cannot forget about them. Because they have as much potential as me and deserve a chance of a brighter future.
