Donald Trump

One year ago, I introduced my father when he declared his candidacy. In his own way, and through his own sheer force of will, he sacrificed greatly to enter the political arena as an outsider, and he prevailed against a field of 16 very talented competitors. For more than a year, Donald Trump has been the people’s champion. And tonight, he is the people’s nominee. Like many of my fellow millennials, I do not consider myself categorically republican or democrat. More than party affiliation, I vote what I believe is right for my family and my country. Sometimes, it’s a tough choice. That is not the case this time. As the proud daughter of your nominee, I am here to tell you that this is the moment and Donald Trump is the person to make America great again. Real change, the kind we have not seen in decades, is only going to come from outside the system, and it’s only going to come from a man who has spent his entire life doing what others said could not be done. My father is a fighter. When the primaries got tough and they were tough-he did what any great leader does. He dug deeper. Work harder. Got better, and became stronger. I have seen him fight for his family. I have seen him fight for his employees. I have seen him fight for his company, and now, I am seein g him fight for our country. It’s been the story of his life, and more recently, the spirit of his campaign. It’s also a prelude to reaching a goal that unties this party and better this still, this country, knows what it is like to win again. If it’s poss ible to be famous and yet not really well known, that describes the father who raised me. In the same office in Trump tower where we now work together, I remember playing on the floor by my father’s desk, constricting miniature buildings with Legos and Erectorsets. While he did the same with concrete, steel, and glass. My father taught my siblings and me the importance of positive values and a strong ethical compass. He showed as how to be resilient, how to deal with challenges, he showed as how to be resilient, how to deal with challenges, and to strive for excellence in all that we do. He taught us there is nothing we can’t accomplish. If we marry vision and passion, with an enduring work ethic. One of my father’s greatest talents is his ability to see potential in people, before they see it in themselves. It was like that for us, too, growing us. He taught us that potential vanishes into nothing without effort, and like him, we each had a responsibility to work not just for ourselves, but for the betterment of the world around us. Over the years, on too many occasions to count, I saw my father tear stories out of the newspaper about people whom he had never met who were facing some injustice or hardship. He’d write a note to his assistant in his signature black, felt-tip pen, and request that the person be found, and invited to Trump tower to meet with him. He would talk to them, and draw upon his extensive network to find them a job, or get them a break. And they would leave his office, as people so often do after meeting with Donald Trump, that life could be great again. Throughout my entire life, I have witnessed his empathy, and generosity toward other, especially those who are suffering. It is just his way of being in your corner when you are down. My father not only has the strength and ability necessary to be our next president, but also the kindness and compassion that will enable him to be the leader that this country needs. My father has a sense a fairness that touches every conviction he’s hold. I’v e worked alongside him for more than a decade now in the Trump organization, and I’ve seen how he operates as a leader, making important decisions

that shape careers and change lives. I’ve learned a lot about the world from walking construction jobs by his side. When run properly, construction sites are true meritocracies. Competence in the building trades is easy to spot, and incompetence is impossible to hide. These sites are also incredible melting pots, gathering people from all walks of life gathering and uniting them to work toward a single mission. There have always been men of all backgrounds and ethnicities on my father’s job sites, and long before it was commonplace, you also saw women. My father values talents. He recognizes real knowledge and skill when he finds it. He is colorblind and gender neutral. He hires the best person for the job, period. Words and promises, no matter how visionary they sound, will only get you so far. In our business, you’re not a builder unless you’ve got a building to show for it, or, in my father’s case, city skylines. Most people strive their entire lives to achieve complete success in a single industry. My father has succeeded in many on the highest level and on a global scale. One of the reasons he has thrived as an entrepreneur is because he listen to everyone. Billionaire executives don’t usually ask the people doing the work for their opinion of the work. My father is an exception. On every one of his projects, you’ll see him talking to the super, the painter, the engineers, the electricians. He’ll ask them for their feedback, if they think something should be done differently or could be done better. When Donald Trump is in charge, all that counts is ability, and excellence. This is long been the philosophy at the Trump organization. At my father’s company, there are more female than male executives. Women are paid equally for the work that we do and when a woman becomes a mother, she is supported, not shut out. Women represent of the total US labor force, and 40 percent of American households have females primary breadwinners. In 2014, women made 83 cents for every dollar earned by a man. Single women without children earned 94 cents for every dollar earned by a man, whereas married mothers only made 77 cents. As researchers have noted, gender is no longer the factor creating the biggest wage discrepancy in his country-motherhood is. As president, my father will change the labor laws that put in place at a time when women were not a significant portion of the workforce, and he will focus on making quality childcare affordable and accessible for all. As a mother myself of three young children, I know how hard it is to work while raising a family, and I also know that I am far more fortunate than most. American families need relief. Polices that allow women with children to thrive should not be novelties, they should be the norm. Politicians talk about wage equality, nut my father has made it a practice at his company throughout his entire career. He will fight for equal pay, for equal work, and I will fight for this too, right alongside of him. American today needs an economy that permits people to rise again. A Trump presidency will turn the economy around and restore the great American tradition of giving each new generation hope for brighter opportunities than those of the generation that came before. In Donald Trump, you have a candidate who knows the difference between wanting something done and making it happen. When my father says that will build a tower, keep an eye on the skyline. Floor by floor a soaring structure will appear, usually record setting in its height and iconic in his design. Real people are hired to do real work, vision becomes reality. When my father says that he will make America great again, he will

deliver. We have a chance this year to reclaim our heritage as a country that dreams bog and makes the impossible happen. Fortunately, Donald Trump is incapable of thinking small. When I was a child, my father always told me, Ivanka, if you’re gonna be thinking anyway, you might as well think big. As president, my father will take on the bold and worthy fights. He will be unafraid to set lofty goals and he will be relentless in his determination to achieve them. To people all over America, I say: when you have my father in your corner, you will never again have to worry about being let down. He will fight for you, all the time, all the way, every time.

It’s so amazing to be with you tonight. And say a few words about my father, and you nominee for presi dent. Please excuse me if I’m a little nervous. When I graduated college a couple of months ago, I never expected to be here tonight addressing the nation. I’ve given a few speeches in front of classrooms and students, but never in an arena with more than 10 million people watching. But like my father, I never back down from challenges. So here I am, a little new to the convention scene, but incredibly honored and very confident in the good man that America is coming to know. It’s often said that with enoug h effort and determination, you can do whatever you put your mind to. But saying those words and living them are different things, and my father has lived them. It’s one of his defining equalities, and I’ve seen it in action all my life. Whatever he does, he gives his all and does it well. His desire for excellence is contagious. He possesses a unique gift for bringing that trait out in others, staring with those closest to him. He’s always helped me be the best version of myself. By encouragement and by example, he motivates me to work my hardest, and to always stay true to who I am and what I believe. That’s what he does. He draws out the talent and drive in people so that they can achieve their full potential. That’s a great quality to have in a father, and better yet, in the President of the United States. As a recent college graduate, many of my accomplishments are still to come. But my dad takes such pride in all that I’ve done so far, no matter how big or how small. I still keep all my record card, some back to kindergarten. Because I like to look back and see the sweet notes he wrote on each and every one them. Contrary to what you might expect from someone who places an emphasis on results, my dad’s comments referred often to the sentiments expressed by my teachers about how I acted in and out of the classroom. Just not even focusing on the letter grades themselves. Donald trump has never done anything halfway, least of all as a parent. I believe the measure of a person is revealed in their darkest times. For me, the measure of a parent is based on how they support and bolster you when you’re down. A few years ago, someone very dear to me passed away, and the first call I got, as I knew I would, came from my father. Without his unwavering support and care for me during such a challenging time, I don’t know how I would have made it through. As far too many know, it is the small, loving acts that help an enormous amount in time of great. My father is good at advice, but he keeps it short and the takeaway is usually the same to help us find our own way and our own gifts. If you do what love, hold nothing back, and never let fear of failure get in the way, then you pretty much figured out the Trump formula. My dad is a nature born encourager, the last person who will ever tell you to lower your sights or give up your dream. In person, my father is so friendly, so considerate, so funny and

so real. Of strong, protective, kind, man I am so proud to call my father. I never pictured myself saying all of this to a packed arena, but I’m grateful and fortunate for the chance. I have admired my father all of my life and I love him with all my heart. God bless you and thank you.

Dear https://www.wendangku.net/doc/7113066748.html,rry Sanford,

I’m Qian Liu, the girl who sent an email to you last two weeks. I know the message from Dr. Xie that you no longer recruit a new student. But through his introduction, I also know you are a very nice and kind professor and make great achievements in your research area. So, he strongly suggested that I apply for an opportunity of studying in your group. I do hope you can give me a chance to work in your group. I believe that a studying opportunity in your group would help me greatly. If I can get the chance, I think that I can study circulation and wave motions in estuary via data analysis and numerical model. Dr. Xie also told me that you are usually very busy, but I am a self-motivated, creative-thinker capable of independent thought and research and also a good collaborator. Dr. Xie is good at data analysis and numerical model, and he told me that he can do his best to give me help if I can study in the Horns Point Lab.

Sorry for disturbing you again. Many thanks for your previous time.

Christmas and 2014 will come to us soon. Best wishes to you and your loved ones: Happy Christmas and Happy New Year.

Your early reply will be highly appreciated.

Sincerely yours, Qian Liu
