Looking For a Compelling Story? Here's One

Written by Gary Gross.

For those of you who are looking for a compelling story this morning, Sanu Patel-Zellinger's bio tells an interesting story. I'd recommend that everyone become familiar with it.

My name is Sanu Patel-Zellinger. I was born in India and grew up in Kathmandu (Nepal), before coming to the US in 1991. I paid my way through college and earned my degree in Business from Carlson School of Management, University of Minnesota in 1997.

Shortly after, I received my US citizenship in 1998. I was as proud as could be. I married my husband Fred Zellinger at Grace Church (Eden Prairie) in 2000. Both of Fred's parents were teachers, and his father taught for over 35 years and currently live in Wisconsin.

That alone made the reading worthwhile. Here's more information that made it that much more compelling:

My parents are now retired and live in Lakeville, where the whole family enjoys gathering often at their house. My grandparents (now passed away) were active in fighting for India's freedom in the 1940's, and my grandfather was also the president of the Janata Party (loose translation is the "People's Party", one of the main political parties in India, with values similar Conservative values) during the 1970's and early 1980's until he passed away.

Clearly, Ms. Patel-Zellinger and her family values liberty, which is the best starting point for legislation. If legislation doesn't make us more prosperous, more safe or more free, then it's legislation that shouldn't be a high priority. Someone with Ms. Patel-Zellinger's upbringing is likely to have the right priorities.
