I loved talking with Isabella, she is wise beyond her years at 10 years of age. We discussed all the important topics: friends, safety and whether we would want a dragon or a unicorn. Her happiness and simple love of life is contagious - I hope you catch it too :)

Thank you Hollywood PAL for introducing me to Isabella :)

It was a complete joy to talk with Miguel and enjoy what an incredible young man and addition to our world he is! I've never been asked so many questions by a guest before and enjoyed being able to share and talk through some really interesting topics like people with different brain types, dragons and Aussie slang! I hope you get as much from listening and learning from Miguel as I did! I can't wait to see what he invents and creates to make our world a better place for everyone! Thank you Hollywood PAL for introducing me to Miguel and the whole Pinedo clan!!

It was such a joy talking with and learning from Daniela, 12 years old. Getting to see her art work was so impressive and her passion for interior design was inspiring. I love how much she loves her friends and her ideas of how to make this world a better place.

Thanks Hollywood PAL for introducing me to Daniela!!

Alejandra is 10 years old (almost 11) and is a soulful young person who already is thinking of all the ways she can help others. I feel so lucky that she brought her art to share with me and told me about her hopes to be a doctor or a therapist so she can help people when they have injuries on their outsides and insides.

Thank you so much Hollywood PAL for giving me the chance to get to know Alejandra even better!!

I had so much fun giggling and talking with 8 year old Maritssa! I challenge you not to laugh at least once! And amongst the giggles I got to learn about her plans to be a special education teacher, her wish to have telekinesis as a super power and her turtles Bob and Ruby! But the thing I learned the most is the power of laughter and how happy you can feel when you just get to laugh with someone - thanks Maritssa, you made me feel very happy!!!

Yaritssa and I had so much fun chatting and laughing and sharing that we didn't want it to end! We talked about school, her plan to be an Obstetric Surgeon, her family (and when she said I was part of that family my heart nearly burst from happiness!!)

I've know Yaritssa for many years, she has always been a very special young person and I am so proud and impressed with the incredible young lady she is growing into being!!

Thank you Hollywood PAL for introducing me to Yaritssa all those years ago!!

Bruce Nolan is one impressive 8 year old. Not often I meet a young person who would choose to be in school on their favorite day!! I loved learning from Bruce about his love for math and soccer and how he wishes he could speak every language to help people calm down and get on better!! I think you will love Bruce just as much as I do!!

Thanks Hollywood PAL for introducing me to Bruce Nolan

Talking with Keiry (pronounced Katie) the day after she turned 14 was such a joy!! We got to share our love for swimming and she shared all about her plans to be a pediatric nurse. She was so brave to talk about being bullied and how she wishes she could end all bullying. I love that on the one day she was in charge of the world she would also make sure everyone gets access to all the opportunities they deserve.

Thank you so much to Hollywood PAL for introducing me to Keiry!!
