grandchildren media should-have
By bringing current events into the classroom, everyday discussion, and social media, maybe we don't need to wait for our grandchildren's questions to remind us we should have paid more attention to current events.
past ignorant uninformed
It seems we're not only uninformed about our present, we're ignorant of our past.
worry time-spent
Mostly, I avoid worrying since the time spent doing it could be spent more constructively.

My family joke that I'm really a very senior person who accidentally happens to be 11.
people world understood
If we all understood we can learn from both older and younger people, then we'd have a better world.
kids opportunity ideas
Make sure that your kids or the kids in your life have an opportunity to share their ideas, and to teach you something about what we know.
war ignorant world
If I had my way, I'd end all wars and poverty. We should all be more aware of what's going on in the world around us and less ignorant.

I realise I'm still a child, though I do feel older. I recently did an on-line test called 'What's Your True Age?' My result was 50-60 years old.
encouragement enough importance-of-family
I cannot emphasize enough the importance of family encouragement - not just for me, but for everyone.
challenges attention pay
History is made every day. The challenge is getting everyone to pay attention to it.
enthusiasm popping bubbles
Enthusiasm just creates bubbles; it doesn't keep them from popping.
children ideas trying
As children, we have a tenuous idea of love; we often try to quantify it with how much we feel seen and heard.
teacher important culture
Any good teacher knows how important it is to connect with students and understand our culture.
baby sex struggle
The fact that a baby can be born today and condemned to a life of hardship, struggle, and discrimination simply because of sex is enraging.
