00:00 Because I live in a political environment,
00:02 I was ridiculed and made fun of because I
00:05 wasn't able to process things sometimes or say things.
00:08 So I'm so sorry that I'm sure many of you
00:12 had to go through this kind of thing.
00:14 I was lucky that I was lucky to go through my life,
00:19 the vast majority of that, without this kind of disability
00:22 that I have.
00:23 But again, I can't imagine and how the challenges.
00:28 And I admire everyone that has to live
00:31 with these kind of struggles and prevail over them.
00:34 And the questions that I have is really
00:37 more of an open-ended kind of question
00:40 to everyone on the panel.
00:44 How can we become more empathetic, more responsive,
00:48 and more effective senators to provide
00:51 the kind of support and services that anyone
00:53 in these communities deserve to be a citizen here in our nation?
