San Diego Continuing Education student Edith Espinoza is quite an inspiration. Not long ago, the mother of two young girls was homeless and a victim of domestic abuse. On June 26, she found herself sharing a stage with President Bush in Washington, D.C. She was selected to introduce the President at a national conference for the federal Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives. After Edith introduced President Bush, he stated, “How beautiful was that? From being a homeless mother of two to introducing the President of the United States. There has to be a higher power. I love being with members of the armies of compassion, foot soldiers in helping make America a more hopeful place.”
