I'm a perfectionist - I could rewrite forever.
I'm not the perfect bride after all.
One day I would love to have a couple children.
I was an English major.
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.
You have to give kids things they're interested in reading. That's what teachers do who are engaged in what their students want.
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.
My first cat was named Cowboy, after the Dallas Cowboys.
I don't have any children. I just have a cat, to my parents' dismay.
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.
I'm aware that not all kids can pick up and fly to Panama. I'm very lucky.
I care what people who know me think of me.
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 don't think of myself as a policy expert. I think education is the most important thing.
I can't wish I weren't something that I am.
Luckily I've had a lot of great friends that I've had for a long time.
A lot of my colleagues at school became great friends of mine.
My sister, she's amazing. She sort of inspired me to take this journey to Latin America.
I hope to work with kids any way possible.
