Mayor Robinson recalls childhood accident and says public service is her calling
Summary
Robinson recounted being hit by a car at age 9, her recovery and family influences as formative to a life of public service, describing mayoral service as "a dream job."
In an extended personal segment, Mayor Rochelle Robinson described a childhood accident that she said left doctors doubting she'd walk again; she credited nurses, family and faith with her recovery and said those experiences inspired her service. "I wasn't supposed to walk," Robinson said, recounting time in traction and a body cast during recovery.
Robinson traced family examples of service — military and community involvement — and said public service is part of her purpose. She called being mayor "a dream job," and said seeing children and community members benefit keeps her energized despite the workload.
