AOC

 I had no previous knowlege of who AOC or Alexandria Ocasio-Cortezrevi was prior to this post, so all of my words are a newly grounded assesment of AOC. She is an American politician and representative of the 14th district of New York. This area includes the Bronx, portions of Queens, and parts of Rikers Island. In 2018, previously working as a waitress and newly graduating from college she pulled an election upset against Joe Crowley making her the youngest woman to have ever served in congress at the age of 29. AOC used social media to heart to heart connect with her community, and thier needs, by standing her ground politically by backing medicare for all, the green new deal and by removing U.S immigration enforcement she gained trust and admiration from her people. This is admirable to me yes because of the policys she stands for, but it is more so admirable by seeing the nomological truths of what will become if we do not look towards the future. It is easy to politically live in the moment and think of all of the different ways that you may increase wealth for yourself and the people that endorse you. However, what truly takes courage is by innovatively taking steps that many will not agree with, but in the future may be regaurded as principal understood culture wide truths. I respect that courage more than I respect any policy. "Everything that is done in this world is done by hope" MLK. As human beings all we have to go by with a politicians word is the hope that they will do what they say they will do. We may agree with their policies but if they do not follow through with them all is for nothing. What lies between that ideology is just what MLK said, all that has ever been accomplished has been done through hope. AOC a waitress, taking orders and bussing tables with the perservering thinking that she will be something great one day had that hope and she did it, that is what I admire about her.
