Only in America! What a truly great country this is and so many of us forget it and just find reasons to constantly complain. I know that nothing is perfect and many things need to be put right, but in what other country could a woman rise from the bottom to the top in a lifetime? I suppose it could be achieved in a couple of the European countries, but here it is almost the norm. When I was starting my career path I was given the option of being a nurse, a teacher or a secretary - for my granddaughters nothing is beyond their reach!
