When she ran home from a school bully (恃强凌弱的人), her mother wouldnt let her in. “Go back and face up to the bully.

As a student leader, she discussed political issues with friends and researched social problems. In 1969, Hillary entered Yale Law School, where she met Bill Clinton. The former president often recalls the day when Hillary went up to him and said: “If youre going to keep staring at me, I might as well (不妨) introduce myself.” The two soon became partners in moot court (模拟法庭), political campaigns, and the journey of love. Even after Bill was elected as president in 1992, Hillary didnt want to just be the presidents wife. She worked on US healthcare. However, she was not popular with those against her husband.
