It's not like he called me up and asked me. They've never wanted to throw us into that world, and I think our decision probably shocked them. But I love my dad, and I think I'd regret it if I didn't do this.

I'm sure there were times when I wish I had thought, 'Gosh, that might really embarrass mom and dad,' but our parents didn't raise us to think about them. They're very selfless and they wanted us to have as normal of a college life as possible. So really, we didn't think of any repercussions.

I don't think I'm portrayed in the media the way I really am - but then who is?

I didn't go to Latin America thinking, 'I'm gonna write a book. This is what I'm gonna do.' I went there to work for UNICEF and to learn.

A lot of my colleagues at school became great friends of mine.

My first cat was named Cowboy, after the Dallas Cowboys.

I'm not the perfect bride after all.

I hope that I serve by being a teacher.
