Madam Chair, I feel very free in my own body. I am very proud of who I am as a woman. Part of being in that state requires people to come the realization that they have incredible inherent value regardless of other people and that they choose to make themselves the best self that they can be.
I am very proud of my relationship with my husband. I married my best friend. I would encourage young people who happen to be political junkies and are listening to any of this, although it is a good topic, to realize that to be the kind of people someone else wants them to be is not as important as ensuring they have that sense of value within themselves. That is not something other people can give them. That is something they need to develop on their own.
I have a lot of memories of my husband and I trying to assist people who have gone through very difficult circumstances. Life is hard, but everybody has value. The United Nations Commission on Status of Women is about that. I was there tonight. It is the inherent value of every human being. The fact that we are all different and that we have different perspectives is the icing on the cake.
