Sen Tim Scott is a quiet giant of a leader in the US Senate. His story is remarkable and his family is honorable. We need to lift up and promote leadership like his at all levels of government.
My grandfather left school after 3rd grade to pick cotton. He never learned to read, but he taught us so much about what's really important.
My mom worked 16 hour days as a nurse's assistant to keep food on the table for my brother and me. Her love and sacrifice were immovable forces in our lives.
My brother just retired as a Command Sergeant Major after 30 years in the Army. His son, my nephew, has degrees from Georgia Tech and Duke, and is now headed to medical school at Emory.
Our nation certainly faces challenges, but my family shows what is possible in our great nation. We went from cotton to Congress in one lifetime - only in America.
