“Light grows when we notice people who are usually overlooked.”

Where do you see light in your life right now?

In my students. Every morning a few of them arrive early just to talk, and that small trust feels like sunlight.

How do you try to bring light to others?

I try to notice the child no one else is noticing, and to say their name like it matters — because it does.
