Summary
I have been trained to tell stories. Truth and exposure to new ideas can give newfound freedom to the lives we all live. Educating and entertaining are two principles that retain the very beauty in the cumulative human condition. If we all are willing to learn about each other and the world through active citizenship, this will make every person's story that much richer.
