Krista Ramsey: Raising kids to embrace the world, then they do

The column written by Krista Ramsey called, "Raising kids to embrace the world, then they do" is about parenting, Krista wrote this column in chronological order, she describes the emotions and actions a parent takes to encourage and guide their kids when they were young and as they slowly grow older. She talks about the happy, sad, proud and many other emotions parents experience and they see their children grow to be a better people and going out to tackle the world. Instead of writing this column formally, she made it very easy to read also extremely inspiring and touching. As I read I feel as if she's reading the column to me because the column is written in a conversational tone that expresses her voice and tone very well.

One of my favorite lines from this column is the lines, "There's something about their looking so young and connected that makes us feel old and left behind. They're off to things. We're winding things down. They're planning adventures. We're planning retirement. They're in constant motion. We're willing everything just to be still." These lines contain many repetition in words and some telegraphic sentences. This line shows the difference between parents and their children as parents watches them grow up, almost making my eyes year up.


Krista Ramsey's writing style is very conversational, inspiring also tend to be written in a form of persuading people on a topic. Three questions I would like to ask her if I was given the opportunity would be:

- What inspired you to write this column?
- Where do you get you inspirations to write?
- What made you want to become a writer?
