Earlier this year, an enterprising high school senior named Myshay saw my husband eating at the restaurant where she worked. She wrote a note to me and shared it with him, telling me about her incredible work in her community and her dream to work in education policy.
We spoke on the phone, and she invited me to attend Compton High School's graduation. It was my honor to attend her ceremony today and celebrate the outstanding Class of 2025.
I love Gen Z. I love their passion, their leadership, and their impatience for change. And I know our future is bright because of Myshay, her classmates, and young leaders across our nation.
