Every Stage English
“Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.”
–George Bernard Shaw
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Life is a Stage
Successes
Throughout my journey, I have had many opportunities to help others from different countries, as well as locals. I have provided the means for others to find confidence within themselves, and I have given many lectures to entertain and educate a variety of audiences.
I have also provided the means for students to discover the joy of writing, my lifelong passion, and the self-sufficiency of editing one's own work.
I shall catalog several of my successes that have provided me with experience, knowledge, insights, and stories that I wish to share with my students to help them develop to their potential.
Interviewed by Brother Sway
I have had the singular pleasure of meeting Brother Sway, comedian and talk show host in America and China. He interviewed me and had filmed a class with my students, which was a remarkable experience for all. His warmth and insights inspired us and gave much food for thought.
Since that time, we have met each other in Beijing and locally, and had some segments filmed for his show.
He is a gracious host, a witty speaker, and truly a wise man. It is a pleasure to know him.
