Maybe it's the way it was edited but . . .
She never said:
I made some poor choices.
I made poor choices with a limited income.
I had another child when I probably couldn't afford to the feed the first.
One of my SR Analysts would die to pay $400 a month for her daycare. She pays close to $1600 - for one. And she does that as a double income household (husband is a young police detective) with one student loan (theykilled themselves to get her husbands paid off first before having their son), and a mortgage. She's a year older than Angelica, caucasian, from a working class back ground.
I see a tale of two young women and one doesn't bitch or complain or whine - she's doing the best with what she has - but made really good choices.
I don't know what to tell Angelica except -she voted for the guy. Now watch her funding for her education go away.
