Shortly after Melania Trump’s prime-time television performance, social media began focusing on similarities between her speech and one Michelle Obama gave in 2008.
Brock and I were raised with so many of the same values.
Like, you work hard for what you want in life.
From a young age, my parents impressed on me
the values that you work hard for what you want in life.
That your word is your bond.
That you do what you say you're going to do.
That you treat people with dignity and respect.
That your word is your bond and you do what you say and keep your promise.
That you treat people with respect.
Brock and I set out to build lives guided by these values
and to pass them on to the next generation
because we want our children and all children in this nation
to know that the only limit to the height of your achievements
is the reach of your dreams and your willingness to work hard for them.
Because we want our children in this nation to know
that the only limit to your achievements is the strength of your dreams
and your willingness to work for them.
I'm fortunate.
