Dear Mr. VP,

Let me tell you who you don’t want on your bad side.

A teenaged girl who is already so composed, so confident, and so full of strength and resolve that she can stand silently on a stage for minutes at a time, in front of an expectant crowd of tens of thousands, and not look in the least uncomfortable.

This generation is going to move mountains. While we may be stuck for now, watching Emma makes me feel as if we will eventually become unstuck. It gives me some hope for our future.
