a gem

for all the negative press the Bush daughters have received over the years, i'd like to say that after watching Diane Sawyer interview Jenna Bush, i was inspired.
she appeared to be a really warm and lovely young woman, who has taught children in inner-city Washington DC and, most recently, is serving as a teacher in Jamaica for UNICEF.
she was shown teaching in these slum-like conditions, really sweaty and dirty looking, hugging kids and letting them play with her hair, and talking to the locals. no one there knew who she was supposedly.
she talked fondly of her father in his role as "Dad" and respects her parents very much and made the family seem so very pleasant and loving.
i respected that the interview was NOT conducted before an election and wasn't politically driven. it was primarily for her to speak about her life/experiences and share about a book she wrote about a young, single mother in Jamaica who is suffering from HIV/AIDS and share the message of the AIDS epidemic there.
she seems like a really wonderful person, and very inspiring.
