Well as you can tell from the title, this TED talk by Dave Eggers is very inspiring to me. This video to me was the ideal inspiration I needed to conduct my project. I like this idea of "one-on-one attention." I have realized that there are a lot of people who need tutoring and this "one-on-one attention" may be a problem. If I can create this community service project that Susan has brought to my attention, then the "one-on-one attention" will probable be successful. Well going back to the TED talk, it talks about how Dave Eggers and his companions had trouble bringing in the kids to tutor because of "trust issues." I didn't take into account about "trust issues" prior to watching this video but now it has made me think of ways to create a child-friendly area. Does anyone have any thoughts of how to do this?
Another reason why this TED talk is inspirational is because if the factual truth it has in it. Dave Eggers has the right thinking and is trying to spread his thinking to anyone who is willing to absorb the truth. He says that the children do not realize how good they are and how smart they are. They need people to tell them how and show them how things are done, listen to them and guide them to a better education. He says that we "can shine that light on them one human interaction at a time"
