'I guess it runs in the family because I remember my grandmother. We were talking to her about would she like to go into a home because she was starting to lose certain functions, and it was getting more challenging for her and the family, and she said, “Why would I want to go in those places? They’re full of old people.”'
Matt: High School Sucked
"I think my initial motivations were um that I think if I, when I was in high school if I had that program, my, the decision-making I, well the decision I made about my schooling would have been different and I probably would have had a much better experience with high school because I had a really terrible high school experience."
Miriam: An "Average" Day
"I think nothing ever got done 100% so this research is kind of half-done. The fundraising definitely didn’t get done to the best of its ability. If there’s only one person doing 5 things, then everything gets done 1/5 of the possibility that it could get done."
Matt: Leadership and Ambivalence
"I think it's that I have this fear of hurting um teen-agers. I think it's because I was yelled at all the time when I was a teen-ager, and um I really hated it and thought it was ineffective and I don't want to be that person who yells at them, even though I feel like need to get yelled at sometimes."
Matt: Media Literacy and Cookies
"It was just one more exposure for me to know how much work goes into manipulating images, and making sure kids watch the stuff and then stay tuned for the commercials and buying Oreos, and whatever else."
