I was influenced, or inspired by, my kindergarten teacher. I wanted to be just like her.

It's been a hard year already. There's been a ton of stuff that's surprised me.

She was so sweet and so nice and she never got upset. She made it (teaching) look fun and exciting. ... She made it look very easy.

I'm working a lot harder than I ever thought I would.

Sacking the president isn't the panacea for what ails the Red Cross.

It frustrates me about myself when I see I'm not taking the road that demands more of me.
