A lot of my colleagues at school became great friends of mine.

I was sports editor for my high school newspaper, but I think I shied away from journalism.

I'm just not political. I have opinions, but there's nothing about the process that has ever interested me. I'm 22, and this is the first interview I've ever done in my life.

I like to go to bed early.

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.

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