In believing that brevity is beautiful,

and that campaign work should be strategic and clever,

I have decided to answer this question with a poem

in order to explain my passion for this endeavor.

This campaign signifies hope for all people,

regardless of orientation, caste, or creed. 

I want to use my drive to help facilitate this hope,

and empower others in need.

My educational background is very eclectic,

and my personal life is not the norm,

which is why I am excited to work on this campaign

and utilize my background in international education reform.

Like Hillary, I grew up in a middle class home

and attended public school until graduation. 

In this time I developed a love of social justice 

and knew that my next steps would provide that foundation. 

I have been fortunate enough to attend college,

and am the first in my family with a master's degree. 

I am a firm believer in the power of education,

and that access should not come with a hefty fee. 

Through my privileged lens I see opportunities for advocacy

and my personal life still requires great activism. 

I have followed my family's commitment to making a difference

and been inspired by my brother with autism. 

His light-hearted nature and giving smile

have always hidden future fears. 

And as his older, protective, and loving sister, 

I have been raising awareness for many years. 

I value strengthening families and communities

and want to be engaged with the four “big fights.”

Through my experiences abroad, I have seen the power of community building

and recognize the importance of protecting human rights.

I want to continue this work on a national level,

to coordinate the campaign's influence on a large scale. 

Not to mention my extreme excitement 

to be working for a powerful female. 

I have been waiting for this announcement,
even though I have other job opportunities.
My heart is truly set on working for this campaign
because I want to make a difference in my political community. 

As I begin this transitional period,

though the future may make me nervous,

I know that I can make a positive impact

with my dedication and commitment to public service.
