We missed each other’s points. I don’t regard Sarah as an EASTERN, IVY LEAGUE “intellectual” or “sophisticate”.
There used to be a descriptive term, a “rough diamond” referring to a person, lacking college degrees, refined language, and tea room manners. They were wonderfully armed with “common sense”, “ethics”, “morality”, an intense “work ethic”, “loyalty”, and very often dirty hands and callouses from their hard work.
These are the people we need, but don’t have enough of.
Sarah has proven herself to be (without the dirty hands) a prime example of a “rough diamond”.
I do not disagree but I do believe she is a lot more polished than is given credit for.
