Kayla Sargent’s professionalism in this piece almost makes it sound like a regular NPR news magazine. But her young voice, and the voices of the young international students, makes this piece sound much more interesting. The timing and length of the piece is perfect, keeping me interested, but not bored. A more vivid description of what the students were actually doing would’ve probably helped the piece. However, all in all, listening to the youth talk about their plans for their home country, makes this piece inspirational and a breath of fresh air, perfect for Earth Day, or any day when you want to leave listeners with a bit of uplifting news.
