i have come to believe that america is a promise we have made to each other

from the NY times interview with surgeon general vivek murthy:

 I read an article you wrote when you were a medical student, and you said: “Understanding who you are and who you are becoming through your experiences is the single most important part of medical training and practice.” Who have you become through your experiences as surgeon general? 

I have come to believe that America is a promise we have made to one another. I  have never felt more inspired to be part of upholding this ideal, because in the faces and the stories of the people that I’ve met all around the country, I have found people who are worth fighting for.
