Resumo

“You just put one foot in front of the other”, says Patrice Harris, newly elected President Elect of the American Medical Association (AMA; Chicago, IL, USA). Advice she has taken (and given) ever since watching Santa Claus is Coming to Town as a young child: when the warlock says “it's so difficult to really change”, Kris Kringle tells him “It's as easy as taking your first step”. Values, beliefs, and outlook start to take shape in our early years, and Harris speaks passionately about her childhood experiences with her large close-knit family who supported, and continue to support, her taking steps forward while keeping her feet firmly planted on the ground.
