... one of former First-Children — a position you didn’t seek and one with no guidelines. But you have so much to look forward to. You will be writing the story of your lives, beyond the shadow of your famous parents, yet you will always carry with you the experiences of the past eight years.”. The Bush sisters stress to Sasha, now 15, and Malia, 18, that there is much to look forward to, but urge them to keep close in their hearts the experiences of the past two terms. “Our greeter as 7-year-olds at our grandfather’s inauguration was Nancy, the White House florist, who ushered us in from the cold. She helped us make colorful bouquets of winter flowers for our grandparents’ bedside,” the Bush sisters write. “Twenty years later, Nancy did the flowers for Jenna’s wedding. Cherish your own Nancy.”. And as Malia prepares to ...

Jenna Hager Und Barbara Bush Schreiben An Malia Und Sasha Obama

... Die beiden sollten sich auf ihr College freuen und diese Zeit auskosten. „Entdeckt Eure Leidenschaft. Lernt Euch selbst kennen. Macht Fehler – Ihr dürft das.“ So hätten sie es auch getan, „wie es wahrscheinlich die halbe Welt weiß“. „Diejenigen, die euch verurteilen, lieben euch nicht“. Mit dem Auszug aus dem Weißen Haus würden die Obama-Mädchen zwar endlich nicht mehr das Gewicht der Welt auf den Schultern spüren, aber Malia und Sasha sollten trotzdem Lehren aus dieser Zeit ziehen. Sie sollten ihre Erfahrungen, die sie auf den Reisen mit ihren Eltern gemacht hätten, dafür nutzen, die Welt positiv zu verändern und sich für andere einzusetzen.

... certainly be there. It would be a huge break from precedent for the most recent President to skip the inauguration (although it’s happened before ,) and would be at odds with the Obamas’ stated intention to help the incoming administration. Since 1889, the outgoing President has hosted the incoming President on inauguration day. But the Bushes and the Clintons have been putting off a decision on whether to attend the inauguration of a man who has publicly mocked Jeb Bush and ran a highly personal campaign against opponent Hillary Clinton. Trump mocked primary opponent Jeb Bush for running an ad featuring his mother, Barbara Bush, saying Jeb “needed mommy to help him.” He flatly accused former president George W. Bush of lying about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. He repeatedly bullied Jeb Bush as “low energy” during the primary campaign, and suggested that Bush had a soft spot for Mexican immigrants because his wife Columba is Mexican. ...

... pass reforms to drive gains in literacy. The Great Lakes Education Project she founded in Michigan was instrumental in passing a comprehensive reading law last year that provides extra tutoring to struggling students and other intervention strategies to ensure that kids are leaving third grade with the literacy skills they will need to succeed in later grades. Reading is truly the building block of a successful education, and Mrs. De Vos has fought hard to ensure that elected officials in her home state and across the nation are giving literacy its proper attention. As Breitbart News has reported , while De Vos said, upon her nomination, that she is not a supporter of Common Core, she has funded and served on the board of the Great Lakes Education Project (GLEP), an organization that promotes school choice and is a supporter of Common Core. “We appreciate the work of the State Senate in supporting the Common Core State Standards, which we believe will make our students more competitive in a global economy,” said Gary Naeyaert, executive ...
