I hope that I serve by being a teacher.

I hope to work with kids any way possible.

I like to go to bed early.

I hope to focus on what I'm passionate about because I think I'd do them best job on them - education, urban education, women and children's issues and literacy.

People ask me if I ever see my father and I say yes, because he puts in the effort. He calls all the time to tell us he's proud of us.

I'm aware that not all kids can pick up and fly to Panama. I'm very lucky.

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