Washington: Jill Biden spoke honestly on Wednesday about the challenge of his work as the first woman and unexpected supervision he had experienced in a position he had never imagined when he was young.
Speaking at an event for the Barbara Bush Foundation for family literacy in the center of Kennedy, Biden offered tribute to Barbara and his ability to handle controversy with grace.
He said he had learned the same lesson: “There are times when the first role of women encourages you to appear, even when it’s uncomfortable”.
Biden tells how he now visits 32 countries as part of the administrative vaccination campaign, focus on poverty and child education, and “listening to people who are often ignored”.
When asked why he visited red countries such as Mississippi, Alabama and Alaska, where he knew he would meet opposition, he said: “I’m also the first woman.” “There are times when I have met wounded, or angry.
But I found that general values ​​that unite us deeper than our division,” Jill said.
“I have seen how good the word or movement, you know, a little relaxed shoulders someone, can open their hearts for what you have to say, even if we will never agree.” Jill has become one of the most prominent and productive government replacements, often traveling out of Washington itself, and sometimes with President Joe Biden, to encourage Americans to get vaccination.
A teacher himself, he also often visited the school to encourage Biden Administrative investments proposed in education.
Mrs.
Bush, who died in 2018, was the first woman from 1989 to 1993 during her husband’s president, George H.W.
Bushes.
And like Jill Biden, he also became his wife’s vice president.
The role of replacement is not a new one for Biden, when he advocates the military family during his husband as a vice president, and often fixture in traces for 2020 campaigns.
But he said that even though he visited the White House as the wife of the vice president, “No one can prepare you to be the first woman.” “We are not chosen, we must define this role for ourselves.
And we push into the national spotlight in a way that I know no one can anticipate,” he said.
Biden told a few moments who were beaten by supervision, when he went to the bakery to buy Valentine’s Day Cupcakes and, who surprised him, his decision to wear his hair at Scrunchie Made National News.
“As the first woman, everything you do or say brings heavier.
And while it can intimidate sometimes, it also makes that role so special,” he said.
Biden also talked about his surprise and was amazed in the end in the position of power after growing up “spent the summer I watched the Phillies baseball match, and the waiter at Jersey Shore to make money for college.” “I can never imagine where my life will take me.
One day I will have dinner in China that Bess Truman chose many years ago,” he said, or “wake up, just surrounded by priceless history.”
