“It doesn’t matter where you start, as long as you show effort and passion, public policy is not hard. The city council meetings really resonate with me, as i have done some of those public comments as well.”
-Andrew Kim from the Great City of Oak
“Mr. Low today was very insightful not only in his country and state role, but also has a very inspiring and profound story. He told us how when he was running at the state level that there was this undefeated guy he was going up against. he showed us through his commitment and want for it he made it happen. I learned how no matter how impossible it seems to do something that you cannot accept failure and do it to benefit others and you will succeed. That is how I would like to live my life.”
