She wanted to be an attorney at four when the sister below me graduated
Really proud of her.

Kidding aside, a law degree from Stanford is a heady accomplishment - your niece is going places, I guarantee it.

I was pleasantly surprised. He also gave high praise to Martin Luther King's two speeches (Letter from Birmingham and I have a Dream). His theme was the American Dream.
