Hillary's story



Hillary Clinton has served as secretary of state, senator from New York, first lady of the United States, first lady of Arkansas, a practicing lawyer and law professor, activist, and volunteer—but the first thing her friends and family will tell you is that she’s never forgotten where she came from or who she’s been fighting for.

Hillary grew up in a middle-class home in Park Ridge, a suburb of Chicago. Her dad, Hugh, was a World War II Navy veteran and a small-business owner who designed, printed, and sold drapes. Hillary helped with the family business whenever she could.

Do the whole thing with just first names, don't make the connection, and save the Big Reveal for the end. With the right talent and good writing, it would be the tear-jerker of the year.

She really did have a tough life, and it made her NICER--which rarely happens. Most people get defensive and embittered. She was grateful for her good fortune when her life improved.
