“I'm a grandmother.” — Jill Biden Quote

I'm a grandmother.

People have not really noticed community colleges, but they are where students really become successful.

Back in 2008, after we'd won the election, no one really expected me to keep teaching. But I couldn't just walk away... So I did both. For eight years, that was my life's dichotomy. State receptions - and midterms. Dinner with the most powerful man on earth - and study sessions with single moms.

I feel that exercise really balances me. Then I layer on the other obligations that I have.

I've always believed you've got to steal the joyful moments when you can.

At the age of fifteen my grandmother became the concubine of a warlord general.

I think I must be the only grandmother in the world who was given an iPod by her grandsons. It has changed my life - I'd be lost without it.

When I was 11, I went to Puerto Rico for a month to stay with my grandmother. To see the way people lived there and experience my own culture was wonderful.

I didn't actually even really know my grandmother; I must have been 3 or 4 when she died.

My grandmother is 82, and some days she doesn't even put her teeth in.
