Transcription: 
I'm Dr. Denise Pope. I'm a senior lecturer at the School of Education at Stanford University. I'm also an author, I wrote a book called Doing School, about the stress of the current high school experiences for teenagers; and that led me to be a co-founder of a company called Challenge Success. At Challenge Success, everyday we work with parents and schools to give them research-based strategies and tools to improve student health and well-being, and a love of learning. I'm also a mom. My most important job. I have 3 kids; I have a kid in elementary school, in middle school and in high school so I feel like I can relate to a lot of different parents out there. And we love to spend time together. Mostly family dinners, we eat together almost every night and they're not always beautiful but we often have some really good times. We like to cook together and hike together, enjoy the outdoors and read for pleasure. That's who I am.
