Over the weekend we found out that Ms. Clinton would be visiting our campus. Without much time to prepare Ball State set her up a spot to speak in the AJ building. Sean Astin came with her. In case you are wondering who this Sean Astin is… he was Rudy! Need I say more? He also was in Lord of the Rings and one of my all time favorites Goonies. He spoke for about 15 mins before Chelsea took over. 

Putting politics aside, as I know everyone has their own opinion and of course everyone is right… she did a really good job. She spoke confidently with poise and perfectionism. She was asked some very tough questions about health care, financial aid, the war in Iraq and NAFTA and didn’t stumble once. I cannot imagine how much time she has to spend sharpening her skills to make sure she can perform at the top of her game every time she does a Q & A. One never knows what question will be asked next.

Considering her performance and her family I have a feeling this is just the start to what could be a long career for her.
