From Whiteboards to Teach For America

“I would make people more empathetic or make them think more about empathy. And the reason is because you have never walked a day in another person’s shoes. You may think that you’ve walked very similarly or you may have spent a great deal of time with them, but if you really dig deep, everybody is so different. So so so different. And I think, on the surface, we as humans tend to make things seem as if they’re one when they’re really not. With empathy I think comes understanding that you’re different and really seeking to understand other people’s stories.”
