George Pataki:
Our parents never felt like victims even in Great Depression
[In my childhood], my father was a mailman. When he went to first grade he couldn't speak one word of English. No one lowered their expectations. Instead they helped him learn the skills he needed to succeed.My mother had to turn down a scholarship to
Cornell to work as a waitress. She was the only one in her family with a job during the darkest days of the Great Depression.
My brother Lou and I worked on our farm as kids. For my Dad, working two jobs was the norm.
He would leave at 5 in the morning, deliver mail during the day, work on the farm in the evening until dark.
My parents never saw themselves as victims; they were Americans. And though they might not have had every opportunity for themselves,
they knew their children could accomplish anything.
It is that promise of unlimited opportunity, that belief in America, which I want to restore for every family and every child living in America today.
