Janna Cawrse Esarey Revealed

Janna Cawrse Esarey Q. What is your motto or maxim? A. Only connect. Q. With whom in history do you most identify? A. My mom. I'm not sure if she counts, but I think it's funny how it's only famous people we learn about "in history." What about all the real people? I've learned the most about the world and myself from my mom. Q. What do you regret most? A. Hurting other people's feelings. I know that sounds weird, but there are a few (OK, maybe several) things I've done or said in my life that were just plain mean. Those memories pain me more than any other regrets I can think of. Q. What is your greatest achievement? A. Teaching sixth graders in New Orleans with Teach For America. Q. If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would you choose to be? A. Right here. Right now. (I'm sure that's the Zen sort of thing everyone says, but it's truly what I strive for. Sometimes achieve.) Learn more about Janna Cawrse Esarey
