She's really really busy, working on all of her different projects that she's doing, and I don't know how she does it, with all my grandbabies. She's got a lot of energy, that kid.” Right now, she’s focused on her work with the law, she said: “She's so focused and she's so, like, she's just passionate about the whole thing and everything she stands for, and I see her studying… it's in her schedule every single day when I get all the schedules for the kids. Her study time is all blocked out, so nothing else can get in the way. I'm so proud of her. … I think that's a big motivation for her, you know, having her dad do what he did. She always looked up to her dad, and that was her idol.”
