Inhaltsangabe

These essays were written over the last 20 years or so as I traveled to many countries of the world. I reflected on my life in education, my family, and the world in which we live. I also made referances to impactful leaders and thinkers who assisted my development as a leader. Included are reflections on China, Israel, Cambodia, South Africa, Japan, and the Persian Gulf Region. My personal reflections include my time at the Peralta District (Oakland CA), growing up on a small town, my parents, and leadership. This has been a delightful journey!
