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

I hope to work with kids any way possible.

I think I've become more like my mom just because of what we're both interested in, children and teaching and writing.

I had always loved to write and my mom was my editor for my school papers.

My mom's a secret Rastafarian.

I'm more like my father, personality-wise. But my mom and I get alone really well - obviously, because my mom and my dad get along so well.

I'm sure there were times when I wish I had thought, 'Gosh, that might really embarrass mom and dad,' but our parents didn't raise us to think about them. They're very selfless and they wanted us to have as normal of a college life as possible. So really, we didn't think of any repercussions.

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

I hope that I serve by being a teacher.

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.
