I have chosen "The wisdom of Barbara Bush" for this discussion.

Barbara Bush's explicit decision not to seek additional medical treatment, at the age of 92, was a point of departure for an open public life. She did not want anyone to feel sorry for her; I knew that as first lady and mother and wife to presidents, she had blessed.

Some early ladies have been afraid to take on the role: Bess Truman and Pat Nixon never really liked it, Jacqueline Kennedy said the "first lady" title sounded "like a saddle horse," and Melania Trump seems particularly besieged (she's in a position challenging only due to her divisive husband). Barbara Bush, on the other hand, delighted in that. She was a political professional. For her, being a first lady was a great honor and not a great task.

I interviewed Bush in 2014 for a book about the White House residency staff. She was eager to praise them, and it really seemed to miss them and life in what others have called the "Great White Prison."

The changes that I made to read it aloud to a live audience are basically i have provided with her thouhts with more effect required to be taken.
