Pereny had an adventurous education in America, coming to love rock music and words, eventually deciding on a teaching career that took him to inner-city neighborhoods and kids in desperate need of his poetry and vision. Along the way he discovered an aptitude and passion for the martial arts and had a spiritual rebirth in Christ. George's story is also a quest for love that brings him to many women until he finds the right one. Like many great books, THE BUS FOR AMERICA ends with a wedding and a new chance for a happy life in Pereny's adopted America.

Download or read book Fun Home written by Alison Bechdel and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2007 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fresh and brilliantly told memoir from a cult favorite comic artist, marked by gothic twists, a family funeral home, sexual angst, and great books. This breakout book by Alison Bechdel is a darkly funny family tale, pitch-perfectly illustrated with Bechdel's sweetly gothic drawings. Like Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis, it's a story exhilaratingly suited to graphic memoir form. Meet Alison's father, a historic preservation expert and obsessive restorer of the family's Victorian home, a third-generation funeral home director, a high school English teacher, an icily distant parent, and a closeted homosexual who, as it turns out, is involved with his male students and a family babysitter. Through narrative that is alternately heartbreaking and fiercely funny, we are drawn into a daughter's complex yearning for her father. And yet, apart from assigned stints dusting caskets at the family-owned "fun home," as Alison and her brothers call it, the relationship achieves its most intimate expression through the shared code of books. When Alison comes out as homosexual herself in late adolescense, the denouement is swift, graphic -- and redemptive.

Book Synopsis Life Is a Classroom by : Angela Censoplano Holmes
Download or read book Life Is a Classroom written by Angela Censoplano Holmes and published by . This book was released on 2017-12-09 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life Is a Classroom is an intimate look into the lives of teachers, students, family lives, and understanding that we are all connected. A reminder to all what joy, humor and enlightenment children can bring into our lives. Many students encounter daily perils, including poverty, violence, and homelessness--realities that jeopardize their existence and shape their life experiences, while also shaping the lives of the teachers and adults around them. This book captures their playful purity and joy while offering us a unique viewpoint to observe and cope with our sometimes challenging lives, and to lean on joy and humor whenever possible. Life is a Classroom is a memoir of a teacher, who had a revelation while going through a lot of her own emotional trauma in her personal life which she saw paralleled her students' lives. Watching them go through their trials helped her go through hers. Before feeling detached from students and their lives, this teacher soon realized their similarites and connectedness. We all are one and the same. We all are more alike than we think.Life is a Classroom is an inspiring account that illustrates a teacher's job as being much more than a simple observer of students' lives and their educational process. It's about creating a safe haven within the classroom and learning we're all not so different from anyone else, regardless of what our lives may look like on the outside and how much we can learn from our students.Life is a Classroom shares the excitement of teaching in the 21st century, with the new teaching standards and the overall approach to prepare our students to become life long learners and global citizens. And while there are problems facing our educational system today, teachers alone can't solve them. Working together as a team--parents, extended families, teachers, school boards--we can make a difference.Looking through the lense of elementary students, this book confronts issues surrounding immigration, undocumented students, poverty, child abuse, cancer, mental illness and witnessing the grace and human spirit needed to move pass the adversity into the light.

Book Synopsis Billion Or Bust!: Growing a Tech Company in Texas by : Lanham Napier
Download or read book Billion Or Bust!: Growing a Tech Company in Texas written by Lanham Napier and published by . This book was released on 2019-05 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Billion or Bust! As president and then CEO of cloud provider Rackspace, Lanham Napier grew the company from $5 million to over $1 billion in revenues and $5 billion in market value while creating thousands of jobs. A lifelong Texan, he grew the company in his home state, overseeing the development of new headquarters in San Antonio and leading the company's IPO. When Microsoft, Amazon, and Google entered the industry in force, everything changed . . . including Lanham's relationship with Rackspace executives and the company's board of directors. Lanham Napier is an entrepreneur, innovator, and investor. He and his team at BuildGroup believe in providing smart capital to passionate entrepreneurs who want to build companies for the long haul. Lanham developed his ideas about risk capital through his work as CEO of Rackspace, a formerly public cloud company headquartered in San Antonio, Texas. He grew up a proud Texan, enamored with the state climate, history, diversity, friendliness, and traditions. In his adolescence, Lanham developed a driving desire to improve the world through creating jobs for people (especially Texans). On a date with the woman he would soon marry, he said about himself, "I want to create jobs." Lanham went to Rice University and then Harvard Business School, and he became knowledgeable about high finance through jobs at Merrill Lynch and a private equity fund. When the internet boom hit in the 1990s, Rackspace.com, a managed hosting company founded by several San Antonio innovators, came knocking at Lanham's door. He joined as CFO, with the main responsibility for taking the company public. He considered this the ideal opportunity to create jobs. Before the company could go public, however, the economic bubble burst. Instead of raising new capital to hire people, Lanham oversaw large-scale layoffs-not at all what he had envisioned. Lanham became president of Rackspace and helped Rackers focus on generating profits and making the company as financially self-sustaining as possible. Under his leadership, and with a dedicated and motivated team, the company gained dominance in its industry-leading Fanatical Support TM offering-a differentiated service that gained Rackspace thousands of small and large-business customers. After Lanham was promoted to CEO, the once-tiny cloud company grew so quickly, it converted a defunct mall into phenomenal new headquarters and underwent an IPO. By the time Lanham left in 2014, Rackspace served over 300,000 customers and had over a billion in revenues and $5 billion in market value. It also employed over 5,000 people, largely in the San Antonio area. Lanham details the replacement of one set of 'managed hosting' competitors (telecom companies) by a new set of cloud competitors-Microsoft, Google, and Amazon. Their aggressive entry into the cloud space beginning around 2006 forced Rackspace to continuously differentiate its high-quality offerings, doubling down on Fanatical Support and developing new products and services. The stresses of this tsunami of competition that collectively held cash stores unrivaled in business history caused a formerly strong partnership among Rackspace executives to pull at the seams. The deterioration of the partnership had repercussions at the board and investor levels, as well. Without leadership consensus, the pressing decisions Lanham needed to make as CEO (and board member) took longer and became harder. Lanham's ability to operate with urgency and clear direction became a daily battle, and he left the company.
