How I Became Me

The reason for the book is to explain how I became who I am. It is not exactly the story of my life. It tells a lot about my life, but the purpose was not to "tell my life story". I must say that my life turned out different but better than I ever expected. William is the reason for the wonderfully successful life that we lived. But he was not the principle factor in who I am. While he was responsible for teaching me the skills that helped me advance professionally, the lens through which he saw the world was much different than mine. Certainly living with him impacted my views of the world, but it resulted in small adjustments not major changes. My basic beliefs were most strongly influenced by father and were basically in place by the time I was 30. The book gives a brief description of the life of my parents. Obviously, who they were had a major impact on who I became. It tells an about my early childhood including my school years. My years as a student had a major impact on my life in education. The things I love and hated at school as a student certainly guided what I did as a teacher.

The reason for the book is explain why I am who I am. Obviously my parents were factors.
