Ingredient Two: A Childhood of Ordinary Beginnings

Like many who rise to national attention, her story did not begin on a stage.

It began in everyday moments:

Friends describe her as warm, driven, and quietly ambitious.

She wasn’t born believing she was extraordinary.

She worked toward becoming someone she could be proud of.

That matters.
