Over time, I rose through the ranks, earning the trust and respect of colleagues and superiors alike. I was granted access to the inner sanctum of the White House, where I witnessed firsthand the decision-making process that shaped the course of history.

From high-stakes negotiations to intimate cabinet meetings, I was privy to conversations that revealed the complexities of governance and the personal struggles of the men and women who lead our nation.

And I realized that even the smallest of actions can have a ripple effect that extends far beyond our own sphere of influence.
