Because I don't see the danger, I don't allow my mind to imagine what might happen to me, which is my definition of fear. The beginning of the book is peaceful and slow-moving, a description of an African girl growing up on a farm in Kenya, but education changes everything. What people see as fearlessness is really persistence.

I was in high school, I was 17 and my first trip to Africa was to Kenya with my family, just on a picture safari. It wasn't until I got to Kenya and saw how many kids were just dying to go to school and would do anything that I realized that that's not true all over the world. That's when I think my worldview was originally rocked.
