"...President Trump shook my hand and said, 'Wonderful job Mom, your son is amazing.'

President Trump gave Samuel an equal seat at the table." -Tera Myers

She was a mother—a mother who decided to give her disabled son life, a good education, and an opportunity to speak at the White House. (Image: C-SPAN /via PJ Media)

Tera Myers spoke about school choice, but her story began before her son was even born.

"I knew my baby was a human being created by God and that made him worthy of life. I am thankful that President Trump values the life of the unborn," she said.
