Maya Angelou's interview

I really enjoyed watching the interview in class, especially when she actually recites a few poems during the interview. There is something about her voice that is soothing to the ear. She has been such a wonderful inspiration to people all over the world and continues to touch lives. Even when she dies, which she looks pretty good for 80+, she will still continue to touch lives because literature never dies. Her poems and blessings will continue until the end of time. She encourages students to come out of their shells and perform at the best of their ability. All of the neglegence and prejudice that our society is put through is not an excuse to throw away lives- atleast not anymore. Youth must learn to rise above all the negative in order to have the confidence and resources to produce more positive. She preaches for safe streets and effective schools, but in the end, it's how bad YOU want it! Children really are the future of us and everything around us. They help us escape. They are the antidote to sadness. Their smiles alone should make any good role model want to give them everything they positively have to offer.
