If I am honored to serve as first lady, I will use that wonderful privilege to try to help people in our country who need it the most. One of the many causes dear to my heart is helping children and women.

Being First Lady is playing supporting act. I am not seeking notoriety and I am not seeking to grab the limelight.

I am an optimistic lady.

I am a full-time mom; that is my first job. The most important job ever. I started my business when he started school. When he is in school, I do my meetings, my sketches, and everything else. I cook him breakfast. Bring him to school. Pick him up. Prepare his lunch. I spend the afternoon with him.

Any first lady can do whatever they want to do. In this country, people expect them to work on whatever they want or to have a career of their own.

I'll be a wife and mother first, then First Lady.
