This book contains the heartwarming and poignant stories of a teacher as he overcomes the difficulties and heartaches in his life and teaching experiences. The author introduces himself with a brief history and eight points he learned to begin his teaching experience in his mid 50's. He then places in capital letters the many concepts that are learned through his life-changing stories. Early reviews comment that the author writes life Hemingway - short, concise, and very moving. Others call it a 2 hour inspirational read that gives an appreciation for living and for life itself. Many agree that it would make a good movie.
