My fondest memory of Maya Angelou is when I was in fifth grade and watching President Clinton's 1993 inauguration she read a poem for Bill Clinton and America. Her poem "On the Pulse of the Morning" was broadcast live around the world.
During this interview I really loved how Maya Angelou spoke of her love of poetry to her love of kids and of herself. She is very smart and a very powerful women. She shared her love for poetry bu telling us who inspired her and what drove her to be successful.
As future educators we all have to inspire, empower. Our education system has taken love out of the classrooms, that doesnt mean they have taken the love out of the teachers. Although some teachers today act like it.
I am human, nothing human can be alien to me is so powerful in so many ways. In that one sentence she sums up her whole interview. She is so loving and a true humanitarian. WOW
