The Arizona Republic recently published a feature article about Arizona Congresswoman Kyrsten Sinema written by Rebekah L. Sanders.  Ms. Sinema’s story is truly amazing. She was born in Tucson, AZ. When she was still a child, her parents divorced and her mother moved the family to Florida. For several years they were so poor that the family live in an abandoned gas station with no electricity or running water. Since then, she has graduated from high school at the age of 16 and was co-valedictorian or her class. She went on to obtain her bachelor’s degree when she was 18. She has since earned a Masters of Social Work, a Juris Doctorate and a PhD in Justice Studies—all from Arizona State University. She has also served four terms as a member of the Arizona House of Representatives, one term as a member of the Arizona Senate and is currently serving her second term as a member of the U. S. House of Representatives. But here’s the real kicker: she’s only 39 years old! So, if you have a dream and are willing to work hard, America is still a land of tremendous opportunity.
