Quote by Charles Kuralt

I had a little insight into life that most kids probably didn't have. My mother was a schoolteacher, and my father was a social worker. Through his eyes I saw the underside of society.

I had a little insight into life that most kids probably did

Summary

This quote suggests that the speaker gained a unique understanding of life at a young age due to their parents' professions. The speaker's mother being a schoolteacher likely provided them with insight into education and its importance. However, it is their father's work as a social worker that allowed the speaker to see a different perspective, exposing them to the less fortunate and the challenges faced by marginalized members of society. This exposure likely shaped the speaker's perception of the world and provided them with a broader understanding beyond what most children typically experience.

By 1914, roughly a third of the population was foreign-born or the immediate descendants of foreign-born...The fact that year after year hundreds of thousands of people left the countries of Europe to come to this country was persuasive evidence that they were coming to improve their lot, not to worsen it.

The people of Wisconsin have been good to me. I've tried to live up to their trust. And now I ask those hardworking men and women, and millions like them across America, to join our cause and get this country working again.
