[ applause ] my dad was a preacher and my mom was awe music teacher. we never -- we never had a dime, but we were rich in the values that are important. and i've carried those values with me ever since. they taught me to work hard, to stand on my own, to play by the rules, to tell the truth, to obey the law, to care for others, to love our country and to cherish our faith. my story isn't unique. in the last few weeks, i have deepened my admiration for someone who shares those same values. her immigrant father loved our country, her widowed mother sacrificed her family and her own career is an american classic. doing your work, earning your way, paying your dues, rising on merit. my presidency will be about those values.
