gigi asked Kasie West:

What was an early experience where you learned that words had power?

Kasie West You know, that's a great question. I remember one time when I was about 15 and someone told me that I was good with kids and that I should be a teacher. That shaped how I saw myself and directed my choices in college. All because one person who I respected said one thing to me. It was powerful. I also have some negative examples of things kids at school said to me in Junior High that effected how I saw myself, but I think I'll stick with this positive example of how words have power. :)
