Father, teacher and big supporter of public libraries
I love being an educator. I teach about cultural perspectives and self-awareness, and I've taught in four countries. I like to tell my students that the only two significant differences between "us" and "them" are the two things everyone has: latitude and longitude. I also like to remind my students that one of the best assets any community can have is a public library. You can't replace the experience of reading a book. They don't know the world without internet, so I remind them. Every day.
