school great-friend colleagues
A lot of my colleagues at school became great friends of mine.
mom wise dad
I'm more like my father, personality-wise. But my mom and I get alone really well, obviously, because my mom and my dad get along so well.
cat cowboy firsts
My first cat was named Cowboy, after the Dallas Cowboys.
character talking creative
Writers know - especially new writers - [that] a lot of it [creative process] is the prewriting stage, the talking, brainstorming, the narrative arc and the character sketches.
sports school thinking
I was sports editor for my high school newspaper, but I think I shied away from journalism.
thinking media way
I don't think I'm portrayed in the media the way I really am - but then who is?
mom dad father
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.
country thinking way
I think there are many ways to serve your country.
daughter thinking president
We [work] really hard to make sure we accomplish everything we want in life, but we don't think about being the president's daughter; we don't think about that, really.
jobs children thinking
I hope to focus on what I'm passionate about because I think I'd do them best job on them - education, urban education, women and children's issues and literacy,
teacher kids differences
As a teacher you can see the difference in kids who have parents who were involved. That difference, by the time these kids get to the third grade, is drastic.
country daughter appreciation
When you grow up as the daughters of George and Laura Bush, you develop a special appreciation for how blessed we are to live in this great country.
mom book school
[My mom] is quite the strict editor. I feel like maybe she has more of the old-school editing style, which really works in picture books, because you don't want to articulate anything in words that is already shown through the pictures.
long great-friend long-time
Luckily I've had a lot of great friends that I've had for a long time.
