I hope to continue writing. I hope to continue teaching.

I decided to go to Latin America because many of my students in Washington emigrated from this region and inspired me to learn more about their home countries.

My dad saw my husband's boss at a conference, and he said to stop paying my husband until we produce children.

I don't have any children. I just have a cat, to my parents' dismay.

I care what people who know me think of me.

We [work] really hard to make sure we accomplish everything we want in life, but we don't think about being the president's daughter; we don't think about that, really.

I didn't go to Latin America thinking, 'I'm gonna write a book. This is what I'm gonna do.' I went there to work for UNICEF and to learn.
