I am an educator.

I have great friends.

May God bless our troops.

I'm not a lady who lunches.

I had grown up with four sisters.

I'm a gardener, and I love to plant.

Education is possibility set in motion.

I never took a political science course.

I guess the White House is kind of confining.

Community colleges are the way of the future.

I'm not a politician. I am an English teacher.

Being a teacher is not what I do, it's who I am.

I buy my own clothes. I have a teacher's salary.

What's on my iPod? Well, certainly Bruce Springsteen.

Education doesn't just make us smarter. It makes us whole.

There were times when I actually prayed not to get married.

The role I have always felt most at home in is being 'Dr. B.'

We need good reading programs, and we need equity in schools.

We know that education is the key to unlocking human potential.

We need women to better reflect the social fabric of our society.

Education teaches us compassion and kindness, connection to others.

Most people probably don't know that Joe has a romantic side to him.

Community colleges are certainly one of America's best-kept secrets.

Teaching is not a job. It's a lifestyle. It permeates your whole life.

As a political spouse, I've found that my stoicism often serves me well.

I've always believed you've got to steal the joyful moments when you can.

I think it's important for every woman to have her own money and be independent.

I'm an English teacher, so I'm used to reading and I'm used to reading out loud.

Sometimes I feel like I've forgotten how to be the mom after the death of my son.

I've said it before, but community colleges are the best-kept secret in the nation.

The American people know Joe Biden. They know his values. They know what he stands for.

I think that running creates a sense of balance in my life. And it really calms me down.

Every day, I see my students work hard to overcome obstacles just to be in the classroom.

There is a stigma attached to community colleges, and we do need to change the narrative.

I feel that exercise really balances me. Then I layer on the other obligations that I have.

People know Joe Biden. They've seen the strong parts of his character and how resilient he is.

Let's face it, we really did need something like this in this country to fight childhood obesity.

I love the women who are coming back to school and getting their degrees because they're so focused.

People have not really noticed community colleges, but they are where students really become successful.

For laid-off workers, community colleges offer job-certification programs that teach new skills and professions.

We can learn something from every single medical interaction. Every case, every patient has a lesson to teach us.

Cancer has been a dark thread that has run throughout my life. It's taken my friends, my parents. My beautiful son.

So many people in my life need prayers, and I feel like I owe that to them. After all, in heaven, we feed each other.

I knew that it was harder to unite two lives than I had imagined growing up. I knew that relationships could be fragile.

Many of my students don't know that I'm second lady of the United States... because, you know, it's a community college.

The passage of the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 was a substantial victory for community colleges.

Actually, after many years on the campaign trail, there is not a particular food that I've come across that I would avoid.

The White House is a serious place, with serious people, doing serious work. If you're not careful, it can grind you down.

I know the injustice of outliving a child, the pain of a future stolen away, of mourning forever a voice you'll never hear.

It sounds so trite to say I make a difference, but I really feel, especially in a community college, I can make a difference.
