Nura Yingling: "Step Six and Step Seven"

I am an American.

I am the grandchild of immigrants who came to this country for a better life.

I am a child of parents who were the first in their families to have a high school diploma.

I am the first in my family to have a college degree.

I am grateful.

I am an American.

Thank you, Senator Wyden.

These mindful words are from a poem written by Richard Blanco for the inauguration of Barack Obama in 2013. To hear the entire poem read: youtu.be/AkSRy8SGTEE?...

Makes me feel sick.
