”Perhaps it was my Methodist upbringing or becoming a social justice advocate in the 60’s and 70’s that created in me a desire to create a better world and to inspire youth to do the same. It’s no surprise then that I am a Star Trek fan, a believer of Gene Roddenberry’s bright future for mankind. I am inspired by my colleagues of the Ho`āla Foundation for Education who are passionate, talented educators. They give me energy to work with parents, educators, and students. Seeing students who are shy and withdrawn transform into articulate, confident learners as a result of Awakening Wisdom is truly a gift of doing this work. My heroes are the educators, parents, and students who dare to dream big and transform themselves out of small boxes into big do-ers who create a better world for all!”
