You were very patient with me in the first chapter of this book. With your cooperation and willingness, I evoked an emotion in you: Question the status quo. Let me portray this for you. You probably do the same things every day: Wake up, wash your face, brush, shower, eat breakfast, go to work, work,lunch, work, return home, rest, watch TV or excise or socialize, sleep and the same cycle…
At one point in life I was lost. Some can call it I was stuck. I was in a race with million and even billions of other people in this planet. I was luckier and ahead of at least 80% of these people by the standards of the society. From outside, I was in a perfect place. I was happily married, I had two kids, I was healthy, everyone around…
As the rain is drumming on the windows, I am thinking about school and education system. Today is the day.

Today, December 18 2016, I decided to reflect back on my year. It is not only the approach of 2017 that makes a good reason for this reflection but also, I am nearing the anniversary of my accident, December 2015.
