You have to give kids things they're interested in reading. That's what teachers do who are engaged in what their students want.
I don't know about the world, but I know kids. And I feel like sometimes kids don't get involved because they think, what can I do? I'm just a kid. And really kids can do so much.
As a teacher you can see the difference in kids who have parents who were involved. That difference, by the time these kids get to the third grade, is drastic.
Kids are so dynamic; if you're tired and you walk into a roomful of kids, your energy is brought up to their level.
I'm aware that not all kids can pick up and fly to Panama. I'm very lucky.
I hope to continue to be an activist for kids and teenagers and especially girls who are living with HIV/AIDS, because all over the world, people don't have the same rights that we do in the United States.
There's no job that's more rewarding than being with kids. I adore it.
I hope to work with kids any way possible.
