(2 of 2)
As you look forward to the future, what is the one problem that you want to see solved (i.e. global warming, health care, the war in Iraq)? ——Jonah Eaton, Laurel, Md.
As a teacher, the most important thing is that all kids get a quality education. There are millions of kids that aren't in school. When I was in Latin America, I met many kids, including Ana, who were forced to drop out of school. Ana had to when she became pregnant. Education is what breaks the cycles of poverty, illness and abuse. If all kids around the world could get a quality education, I think our world would be a better place.

Who are your rooting for in the presidential election? ——Nimrata Nair, Irvine, Calif.
I don't know. It is so far away. I haven't even started to think about it.

What behaviors did you pick up from your father and mother? ——Kyle Kreutzberger, Frackville, Pa.
As a child, I was like my dad. We had similar hobbies. I always loved to be outdoors and play soccer. I would ride my bike with him while he ran. My sister seemed more like my mom then. Now, I think I am more like my mom. We have the same passions for teaching and writing. My mannerisms are more like hers. So I would say a little of both — I have my dad's sense of humor and my mom's demeanor.

Tell us a funny story about you and your dad. ——Jason Sharpe in Florence, Ore.
Gosh, that is a hard one. I can't think of one off the top of my head. Our whole family loves to laugh. My parents' marriage advice is to laugh and forgive. If you take yourself too seriously, life becomes more difficult than it needs to be.
