Merry Christmas Kara!

 

Speaking Engagements
Kara has had several opportunities to speak about her cancer and her book.

        

Kara shares about her cancer and her experience as a young author.  She shares writing tips and encourages students to not be afraid to use their imagination.  Many students have been inspired to write after reading Kara’s book and hearing her speak.

 

"Kara Siert was likely the most inspiring of speakers my middle schoolers have had the pleasure
of hearing-- and they've had the privilege of receiving dozens of professional career spokesmen and motivational speakers from the community. This remarkable and talented young lady speaks to adolescents in a way an adult cannot. With an interactive and well-formulated presentation, she captivates not just their interest-- that's not the hard part-- but  directs her remarks to their hearts as well and leaves them "jazzed"-- as the kids would say."
Kay Taylor, Lakenheath Middle School,  UK

List in descending order

“All the students were glued to Kara’s presentation listening intently to her story. She showed a PowerPoint presentation which depicted her life story starting from her adoption to publishing her first book. They asked many questions about getting started as an author and of course had a few questions about her struggle with cancer.  Many of the students shared their own writing books with Kara and even had her autograph their writing books! As you can imagine, the room was abuzz with excitement after Kara left. Some couldn’t wait to get started with their own writing!”     Ms Kay Spohn, Lakenheath Intermediate School, UK 

In March 2008, Kara was asked to speak twice at the Lakenheath Intermediate School, UK, once to a class of 5th graders and then to two classes of 4th graders.  The students were great listeners and enthusiastically participated in the interactive portions of Kara’s presentation.  Kara was quite pleased with how many of these students love to read and write.  One teacher shared with us that he is reading Kara’s book aloud to his class and Kara was thrilled to hear how much they are enjoying it.

In December 2007, Kara was asked to speak to three separate classes of 7th and 8th graders at the Lakenheath Middle School,  UK.  She was well received and enjoyed interacting with the students.  She has since been invited to speak at Lakenheath Intermediate School. 

In January 2007 she was asked to be a guest speaker at the AWAG conference (American Women’s Activities, Germany) a leadership and personal development training  organization for volunteers throughout the American military communities in Europe.  The conference was being held at RAF Lakenheath, UK. 

Her first speaking engagement was November 2006.  She spoke at the library on RAF Mildenhall, UK.
