Everybody has a story. A story to tell, a story to hear, but
most importantly a story to live. My story maybe similar to others, and it is
also different. Why? Because it is my story. What is my story? I could start as
a young man who lived in Dallas or as an educator who left corporate America to
begin his journey as a teacher.
It Begins
I lived in the
Pleasant Grove neighborhood of Dallas. I attended Skyline High School, and
played in the marching band. But there’s more to it. As a youth, I was
fascinated with history. I loved to read. I would go to my maternal
grandmother’s house in Arkansas and I would sit by her looking through the
volumes of black and white photo albums. I would ask her “Who’s this person?
What are they doing?” She then would tell me MY
STORY. In doing this, it fostered a life of learning and a thirst for
knowledge.
Study
I would then read, and
study African History. My Uncle told me about Egyptian history, and it flooded
my fascination. Because living in Dallas in the 90s you rarely hear this sort
of information. So I would grab any book I could find. My parents would buy
books such as “Tutankhamun and His Friends.” Which was
an amazing book. In time I would aspire to become a history teacher. My love
for history started with the love of my family history. I would then set my
sights on becoming a teacher.
This is the beginning of
a lifelong journey of love and learning. This is the beginning of my story.
What’s yours?
Thanks for coming.

freelance writer for history and religion let me know.
