AOC Only Gets 60 Seconds At Democratic Convention To Deliver Pre-Recorded Message Rachel Sandler Forbes Staff
“I only have a minute.
Sixty seconds in it.
Forced upon me, I did not choose it,
But I know that I must use it.
Give account if I abuse it.
Suffer, if I lose it.
Only a tiny little minute,
But eternity is in it.”
Dr. Benjamin E. Mays (and recited by Elijah Cummings)

You’ve got this. Remember all those poems we recited together in 2nd grade? It was prep for this moment. You’ve got this. Tweet by mjacobs @mjacobs324 Veteran elementary teacher. Uncertain about our future but inspired by former student @AOC and hopeful for Biden/Harris Joined June 2016

Ms. Jacobs! Is that you?! Yes, I do remember the poems we recited in second grade! You prepared me perfectly for this moment. Thank you for teaching me, encouraging my growth, and believing in me as a child.
