Dear Summer


"I know you gon' miss me
'Fore we been together like Nike Airs and Crisp Tees" - Jay -Z

It was a great summer! As usual, I spent a great deal of June working basketball camps. Most of July was spent travelling around the country with Monster Worldwide Inc.

In June, the varsity basketball team visited Mercer University, College of Charleston (legendary coach Bobby Cremins gave us a special tour of his office and also spoke with the team), and Georgia State University to compete in scrimmage.

Young boys and girls from around the community and some of the current and former varsity boys and girls participated in two weeks of basketball camps here at Paideia. I also got the opportunity to meet some new young people and colleagues while working as a counselor for the Jeff Lebo Auburn University Tiger basketball camp.

In July, while working for Monster Inc.'s Diversity Leadership Program, I was able to visit Chicago, Baltimore, and Dallas. There I participated as a logistics team member for the program that connected some of the top college students around the country with some of the top corporations from around the country! Paideia graduate, Sheereen Brown, was a student participant at the Atlanta program. It was great to meet some of our top young leaders and hear about their experiences and ideas about life.

The rest of the time was spent preparing for teaching GTA3 and putting together this wonderful blog! :-)

I almost forgot about something really fun and important. I am working with one of my former students here at Paideia on a special project. We are developing a coorelation matrix for trading pairs on the foreign exchange market. By evaluating correlation and variance, we can better predict the changing value of currencies in relation to each other. Cool stuff!

Twitter details about the summer, etc.

Now it is time to leave the summer and enjoy the beginning of the school year. Use this blog as a window of opportunity and keys
for access to the world around you! Become a global learner!
