"All you have to do is care"—Kennedy's Final Words on Education
In one of Ted Kennedy's final interviews, with BigThink, he spoke about his ideals and hopes for the future of the education system, explaining that when he goes to schools and colleges, he's struck by the spirit of young people who want to help solve problems. Kennedy stresses that one of the most important parts of the Education Bill just passed is loan forgiveness for those who want to go on work in the community to help solve problems: whether it's as a teacher, nurse, or on an Indian Reservation. Kennedy is saying: If you can get to college, debt shouldn't be a barrier to allowing you go on to help solve the nation's problems. He expressed confidence that this country will be safe as long as the spirit of kids who want to make a difference endures.
You don't have to be a senator to make a difference, all you have to do is care. —Ted Kennedy
