"My goals may seem impossibly far-fetched when really they're not. Break them down into steps and see how I accomplish great things. I can easily reach from A to B. I can manage from B to C. I can then make it from C to D. And so eventually, I will find my way from A to Z."

"Status in itself is criminal for those with the means to move, and the means to weave communion between people."
People
"They took my mother's stomach out six months ago."
Family
"Some of these kids just don't plain know how good they are: how smart and how much they have to say. You can tell them. You can shine that light on them, one human interaction at a time."
Time
"You know, it's been proven that 35 to 40 hours a year with one-on-one attention, a student can get one grade level higher."
Attention
"You can do and use the skills that you have. The schools need you. The teachers need you. Students and parents need you. They need your actual person: your physical personhood and your open minds and open ears and boundless compassion, sitting next to them, listening and nodding and asking questions for hours at a time."
Time
"People are strange, but more than that, they're good. They're good first, then strange."
People

Description
"And what we were trying to offer every day was one-on-one attention. The goal was to have a one-to-one ratio with every one of these students."
Goal
"The key thing is, even if you only have a couple of hours a month, those two hours shoulder-to-shoulder, next to one student, concentrated attention, shining this beam of light on their work, on their thoughts and their self-expression, is going to be absolutely transformative, because so many of the students have not had that ever before."
Work
"But you know, there's something about the kids finishing their homework in a given day, working one-on-one, getting all this attention - they go home, they're finished. They don't stall, they don't do their homework in front of the TV."
