I actually had no idea Sen. Elizabeth Warren dropped out of school at 19 to start a family. Hear her thoughts on being a mom, starting over, and women trying “have it all.”

Here’s the full quote from the interview, which I just *loved*:
“I grew up in a family that didn’t have a lot, but I got a fighting chance. Partly it was about a public education system, a commuter college that cost $50 a semester … the fact that my mom could work a minimum wage job at a time when that would help support a family and keep us above water. And I want to make sure that today families get that same kind of fighting chance … kids get an education … that people who work hard really will be able to earn a wage that will support a family. I want to see us all able to build a secure future — mostly so we can enjoy our time now, and our time with our children.” — Sen. Elizabeth Warren
Boom.
