I remember as a teen being able to eat more than my father. I was growing so fast and my body couldn't keep up.

When I was growing up particularly during puberty in my teen years I was so miserable because I elicited so much teasing and meanness from my teenage cohorts.

If we as a nation are to break the cycle of poverty crime and the growing underclass of young people ill equipped to be productive citizens we need to not only implement effective programs to prevent teen pregnancy but we must also help those who have already given birth so that they become effective nurturing bonding parents.

When I look in the mirror I see the girl I was when I was growing up with braces crooked teeth a baby face and a skinny body.

With the world's human population now at seven billion and growing and the demand for technology and modern conveniences increasing we can't control all our negative impacts. But we have to find better ways to live within the limits nature and its cycles impose.

When I graduated from high school the teacher said I was throwing my life away following music and the same teacher invited me back to speak at the school. I don't say that to brag I just want to be an example.

One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers but with gratitude to those who touched our human feelings. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child.
