Desktops have always fascinated me. I remember loving to go to my dad's office and rummage through the things on and in his desk. (That is if I could find the desk, amid all his stacks of paper and collections of periodicals.) He was a professor and an administrator and between his many roles and interests there accumulated an ample assorted of facts and clues on his desktop. When successful in finding his desk, it was sure to be an adventure in learning. Those seemingly insignificant fragments of paper saved from fates in recycling bins were actual prized bits of information. Scanning my father's desk was a visual and intellectual treasure hunt. A little know fact here, a thoughtful quote there, a relevant news clipping and often, if lucky, a sweet in the form of a candy hidden throughout.
My vision for Ms. Dessie's desktop is to represent the same kind of treasure hunt in knowledge that I experienced with my dad's desk. Hopefully a bit more organized than my dad's and not such a fire hazard with the enormous piles of paper. I invite the reader to enjoy rummaging around my desktop searching for gems of information on education themed ideas and topics.
Here is my first gem thanks to Nelson Mandela. I am ready to arm young minds with the best tools for defense and offense in changing this world ... Education!
