I had the pleasure of attending the Peoria County Bar Association's Diversity Luncheon today. The speaker was wonderful and her message rang true. Cook County States Attorney Anita Alvarez described how she rose from an impoverished background to running the second-biggest States Attorney's office in the United States. It was a "rags to riches" tale - truly inspirational.
She is living proof of what a great country we live in. Everyone has a chance. Put in the necessary work and good things will happen. Don't listen to your critics - those who tell you why you can not succeed. You CAN succeed... just ask Anita Alvarez.
