“If you were born here, you’ve already won the great lottery of life. You’re American, you’re loved, you’re educated and you get to make decisions,” Perino said.

Perino told the students that they have a duty to their families and communities to stay aligned with their values.
“You have to learn, how do you decide how you want to spend your day? How do you want to take care of yourself?” Perino worked out. “How do you want to make sure you’re doing the best for yourself, for your families and for your communities?”
The former White House press secretary stressed that integrity is the most important asset an individual can have, despite the costs involved.

“(Integrity is) the most valuable asset. And you have a responsibility to protect it at all costs. And that might cost you some things along the way. It might cost you friendships,” she explained. “It could cost you a job. It could cost you something you never want to give up you think
“But if you compromise on your integrity, you lose your most important and valuable asset,” Perino added.
“Take your education, the fact that you’re American, your personal integrity, and go out and show us how you’re going to do,” concluded the “America’s Newsroom” co-host. “I’m honored to be here.”
