O PODER CRIATIVO DO COMPANHEIRISMO PARA O BEM DE NOSSOS JOVENS NAS ESCOLAS PUBLICAS E PARTICULARES DA BAHIA
23 de agosto de 2011.

Teriam os rotarianos inventado o COMPANHEIRISMO? Certamente que não. Sempre existiu e talvez seja esta a mais importante característica da espécie humana, um animal frágil e com porte e força menores que muitos outros mamíferos e que se adapta a todas as regiões do planeta onde exista agua por perto e ainda se considera como espécie dominante, mesmo antes de ter atingido como civilização a desejável integração com a natureza que lhe propicie como espécie a sustentabilidade.

Mas há quem diga que a maior diferença entre o ser humano e os demais mamíferos esta em seu polegar...deixemos isto aos debates antropológicos e biológicos e fiquemos com a tese mais frequente de que a inteligência humana como individuo foi desenvolvida ao ponto em que esta hoje por forca de sua habilidade de conviver, ser com os outros e com o ambiente e promover inovação numa interação com justamente os outros, com objetivos comuns.

Fica fácil exemplificar o poder criativo do COMPANHEIRISMO, da inovação interativa com a entrega de uma cédula de cinquenta reais com a mão direita de uma pessoa a outra, a qual lhe entrega também uma outra nota de mesmo valor a sua mão esquerda.  O EGD Carlos Froes empregou este exemplo em seu discurso na posse do Conselho do Distrito 4550 2011-2012, na Associação Comercial da Bahia. Em paralelo ele descreveu o que acontece quando um COMPANHEIRO passa uma ideia de sua profissão a outro que mais adiante lhe passa uma ideia de volta: cria-se uma coisa nova e mais valiosa que a soma dos  dois conhecimentos trocados. Além do resultado objetivo maior criado, é também muito importante  o prazer, a autoestima aumentada pelo senso de ter contribuído, de ter servido.

O que fizeram os rotarianos: organizaram o COMPANHEIRISMO e a interação entre profissionais diversos sob a forma de uma associação e encontros periódicos para SERVIR à humanidade e ai estamos com o ROTARY INTERNATIONAL e seus mais de um milhão e duzentos mil associados em todo o mundo a a prestar valorosos serviços entre os quais se destacam a vacinação universal contra a POLIO e as bolsas de estudos, no que se distingue como a maior entidade privada a conceder tais bolsas aos estudiosos de assuntos relevantes para o desenvolvimento humano sustentável.
Os rotarianos sabem perfeitamente que SERVIR nos traz prazer e da uma dignidade toda especial a nosso trabalho diuturno, cada um em sua profissão, servindo com crescente integridade e em busca de liderança pela qualidade do serviço prestado.

Mas isto vale para profissionais, servidores públicos, políticos, empresários, professores, cientistas, todos que sejam rotarianos adultos e estáveis em seus postos de trabalho. Muitos com suas famílias e interagindo com suas comunidades.

A pergunta que nos cabe fazer neste pequeno artigo seria: Tal COMPANHEIRISMO, tal ideal de servir, tal busca de integridade e de diversidade e respeito ao próximo caberia numa comunidade de jovens estudantes de escolas publicas e particulares? A resposta admite variações, mas no nosso pensamento seria um forte SIM. O Companheirismo gerara entre os estudantes um raciocínio coletivo, tendo como resultado crescente a AMIZADE, a solidariedade, a disciplina e o respeito a ordem geral e a busca de aperfeiçoamento, seja nas lições e trabalhos escolares formais, seja nos esportes, seja nos encontros de lazer e certamente a autoestima e o senso de pertencer ao grupo seriam antídotos contra o desanimo, a desesperança, os conflitos existenciais, a falta de atenção e de aprendizagem, muito por que uns auxiliariam os outros que necessitarem e necessitam, pois todos os seres humanos em sua espiral de vida, segundo Heidegger, terão suas subidas e suas descidas...

COMPANHEIROS AMIGOS, este passa a ser um assunto importante para nossas discussões, conforme nos sugeriu o companheiro Vavá, Sinvaldo Ferreira Viana, presidente do Rotary Club de Santa Cruz Cabrália, que em publico na reunião de posse e visita do Governador do Distrito 4550 ao Rotary Club de Itabela, seu parceiro e vizinho, apresentou um dos maiores problemas por que passam nossas cidades – o aumento dos vícios de drogas toxicas entre nossos estudantes adolescentes, nas escolas publicas e particulares.

Vamos trabalhar no fortalecimento de nossos estudantes pelo COMPANHEIRISMO e levando a eles o ideal rotário do SERVIR antes de ser SERVIDO, o COMPANHEIRISMO, a busca de integridade e disciplina na profissão – estudar eh cada vez mais uma profissão ou um preparo para tal – de modo a que afastemos de nosso convívio os ciclos viciosos que tanto prejudicam e matam nossos jovens.

As campanhas de Cada escola um Interact, Companheirismo Sim, Drogas  Não, e outras que Vs. conceberem e sugerirem serão benvindas pela equipe que nos ajuda a dirigir o Distrito. Vamos buscar dentro de cada um de nos as forças e qualidades e juntarmos tudo num grande abraço para coloca-las disponíveis a nossos jovens, que representam hoje o que será a humanidade.

THE POWER OF CREATIVE FELLOWSHIP FOR THE GOOD OF OUR YOUNG PEOPLE IN PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS OF BAHIAAugust 23, 2011.
Have Rotarians invented the FELLOWSHIP CONCEPT? Certainly not. It always existed and perhaps uniting one another is the most important feature of the human species, a fragile animal, smaller in size and strength than many other mammals. But some say the biggest difference between humans and other mammals is in your thumb ... let us leave that to the biological and anthropological debates and let us stay with the thesis that the human intelligence of each individual has been developed to the point where is today by virtue of our ability to live and promote innovation in interaction and have shared goals.
It is easy to illustrate the creative power of companionship (fellowship), interactive innovation with the delivery of a real bill of fifty dollars with his right hand from one person to another, which also gives her another note with the same value to his left hand. The EGD Carlos Froes used this example in his speech held by the Council of the District 4550 2011-2012, the Commercial Association of Bahia. At the same time he described what happens when one partner is an idea of ​​their profession to others who will later pass around an idea: create something new and more valuable than the sum of the two exchanged knowledge. Besides the main objective result set is also very important pleasure, self-esteem increased the sense of having contributed to have served.
What did the Rotarians: organized fellowship  and interaction amongst various professionals in the form of an association and with at that time regular meetings to design together services to  humanity, and here we have with Rotary International and its more than one million two hundred thousand members worldwide provide a valuable services including the universal vaccination against polio. And scholarships, as distinguished as the largest private entity to grant scholarships to students of such matters relevant to sustainable human development.Rotarians are well aware that SERVE brings us pleasure and a very special dignity to our daily work, each in his profession, serving with integrity and increasing for leadership by the quality of service.
But this is true for professionals, civil servants, politicians, businessmen, teachers, scientists, all Rotarians who are adults and stable in their jobs. Many interacting with their families and their communities.
The question that we must do in this short article would be: fellowship, the ideal of service before self, the search for integrity and diversity and respect for others would fit into a community of young students from public and private schools? 



The answer admits variations, but in our thinking would be a strong YES. The fellowship among the students had produced a collective reasoning, resulting in a growing friendship, solidarity, discipline and respect for the general and the pursuit of perfection, whether in formal lessons and homework, whether in sports, whether in meetings and leisure certainly self-esteem and sense of belonging would be antidotes to discouragement, despair, existential conflicts, lack of attention and learning, much to a need to help others and need for all humans in its spiral of life, according to Heidegger, have its ups and its downs ...
FELLOW FRIENDS, this becomes an important issue for our discussions, as suggested in the companion Vava, Sinvaldo Ferreira Viana, president of the Rotary Club of Santa Cruz Cabral, who in public ownership at the meeting and visit of the Governor of Rotary District 4550 Club Itabela, your partner and neighbor, had a major problem experienced by our cities - an increase of toxic drug addiction among our young students in public and private schools.
We will work to strengthen the fellowship of our students and bringing them to the Rotary ideal SERVE before serving, fellowship, the pursuit of integrity and discipline in the profession - eh increasingly studying a profession or a preparation for that - so that move away from our midst the vicious cycles that both harm and kill our youth.
Each school campaigns an Interact, Fellowship Yes, Drugs No, and others that suggest design and Vs are welcome in the team that helps run the District. Let's look inside each one of the strengths and qualities and put it all together in a big hug to put them available to our young people, who represent today what will be mankind.
ThanksDurvalFellow District Governor 4550Rotary International
Note - These notes were written after long discussion with Rotarians in education and pedagogy, during the official visit of the Governor and his wife Teresa Durval Rotary Club Bahia East, the proposal of the President of Rotary Club of Santa Cruz Cabral, Vava Rotarian of the Rotary should immediately act with awareness campaigns and awareness of young people in public and private schools for them away from evil deadly drug addiction.
Some campaigns are already in action, for example by one of four Rotary clubs in the city of Jequié. The argument that emerges is that the promotion of solidarity and fellowship and the Rotary ideal young people in schools become safer and the elevation of inclusion and self-esteem and happiness useful occupation grew and he had become increasingly stronger and far from drug addicting.

Speech by District 4550 Governor Durval Olivieri at the Installation Ceremony for the Rotary Club Bahia North

Summary
SUMMARY OF THE SPEECH OF GOVERNOR OF DISTRICT 4550 DURVAL OLIVIERI at the installation ceremony of Rotary Club Bahia North Presidency and Board.
1. Rotarians will be increasingly called upon for humanity - The world's problems that require the leadership of Rotary are growing and jerky. Disasters happen because there are humans in high risk locations for lack of secure location - occupying areas of permanent preservation, others at risk of earthquakes and hurricanes and floods ... the exclusion and poverty grow with the low efficacy of education and public health .Species are becoming extinct human species including some ancient cultures, symbiotic with nature.
2. The President asks us to look inside ourselves and our qualities and forces clubs to engage humanity in a big hug, changing everything that does not work and maintaining the basic principles. Our motto in line for a sustainable growth for the world to demand more and better Rotarians.
3. In Rotary, serves as the President to the Governors, the Governors serve the Presidents, the presidents they serve in their clubs and communities to their peers and are Rotarians WHAT ARE THE WORLD ... this is the hierarchy of service that will pull us to grow node development.
4. We need to rejuvenate the Rotary to continue attracting new generations. To rejuvenate need to go back to the time of the founders and see how they included more than four generations in your planning that brought us so far. Certainly the forms of action and mental models that have brought us this far in triumph will not take us more than a few years of life - you need to adjust our ways to the times, young professionals to be motivated by our beliefs and our values and humanitarian actions. And there are more than a million young people in the world who live with us if interested in the practices to be adjusted.
5. One of the ways is what I saw here today - to integrate our actions with Interacts, Rotaracts and exchange students.


RI President Kalyan Banerjee asks Rotarians to Reach Within to Embrace Humanity during the 2011-12 Rotary year.
“In order to achieve anything in this world, a person has to use all the resources he can draw on. And the only place to start is with ourselves and within ourselves,” Banerjee told incoming district governors in January.
Capping the 2010-11 Rotary year was the RI Convention in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, in May. Immediately before the convention, the Youth Exchange Officers Preconvention Meeting gave a record number of Youth Exchange officers from all over the world the opportunity to exchange ideas and learn about program updates.
If you weren’t able to attend this year’s preconvention meeting, get an early start on 2012! Learn more about next May’s convention in Bangkok, Thailand.

GOVERNOR DURVAL OLIVIERI’S ROTARY MESSAGE FOR 2011-23012 ROTARIANS OF SALVADOR PITUBA CLUB 

June 2011 

Dear Friends in Rotary, 
Our message will begin with the Rotary motto of our International President Kalyan Banerjee’s for 2011-2012.
He asks us to REACH WITHIN TO EMBRACE HUMANITY. He asks us to look into ourselves and our lives in order to search for our strengths and values and, after correcting our weak points, share everything in order to engage humanity in a fair and sustainable growth path.
And he adds: we shall strengthen our family, continue building communities and building bridges between them, as if a big hug, seeking the common good.
Being a Rotarian has been for me at all times a challenge and a motivation for improvement. Right now, as I am asked to be the District Governor, it becomes an even greater challenge – a matter of responsibility and accountability for a task which neither myself nor any friend can a priori define well to me. Only by asking help will I have a chance to accomplish such a task. So, I come here to ask for help and the best way to do that is offering my own service to you, in the simplest mode.
Humanity and its innovative potential can grow in sustainable concepts only by having a shared positive vision and by pursuing innovation through organized and enterprising networking. Innovation does not always imply in new knowledge, but yet in using better present knowledge wherever there is someone needing it and setting orderly governance in positive interconnections ties, between the civil society, the public sector and industry. We need to prepare the orderly and creative atmosphere able to attract enterprising leaders, otherwise our society will fall. Rotarians can help serving society in planning and acting in that sense as well as in motivating entrepreneurs to think and act with responsible care strategies – fair to society and sustainable in longer terms for share holders.
I am part of the lucky generation after the two World Wars. However we do witness in daily news wars amongst brothers, poverty, social exclusion, poor sanitation and public health policies, environmental degradation and violence as chronic problems. That is a basic need for Rotarian actions to continue much in the simple mode established by our founders. At the beginning of the twentieth century, lawyer Paul Percy Harris, precisely in an environment full of hopelessness and fear in agricultural and industrial center of the most intense United States - Chicago, Illinois, had the brilliant and simple idea by being simple in attitude also of adding his ideal to the strengths and values of other diversified professionals, who also believed in building peace with fellowship, professional ethics: and they did found our Rotary. Rotary was then, for all newcomers, a reference group and a way to live happily, with a decent work. Our founders were young professionals with an average age of thirty years old, when they started thinking about Rotary. It was their vision of continuous adjustment to times and cultures and generations to come that enabled our not for profit charity institution of volunteer social works to be alive and in full vitality, with widespread public service recognition, on global scale and steady growth, one hundred and six years later. 

Certainly the original principles and values are still validated. As they were based on Fellowship, Serving, Integrity, Diversity and Leadership these values have been formally considered by Rotary International as Strategic Values. They are associated with an ethical code –The Four-Way Test - and are materialized by a flexible goal oriented organization and delegation to each Rotarian as the major OWNER of his own destiny and role in our worldwide entity. And he will be ACCOUNTABLE for his actions as a Rotarian with GLOBAL duties. In Rotary there is not a general, nor a corporal, nor a soldier. We are all generals when generals are needed – leaders. Likewise, we are all organized and disciplined soldiers, when soldiers are needed. Rotarians led by motivated and innovative leaders of the recent past brought us to this day. In spite Rotary was very young in the first half of the XXth Century, our entity had a major role in establishing ground rules for those who worked towards peace. With our hard principles and beliefs we have helped our members and their communities overcome very severe world political and economic crisis. 
And, please, notice my friends that all this happens in the form of a donation by each one of us: our individual and shared volunteer work of over a million two hundred thousand (1,200,000) members. As we are a not for profit enterprise, since Rotarians do not seek profit our balance sheets do not reflect the social and economic numbers related to our actions. Accountants will do their books with the values of dues and donations in currency and on the red side the expenses and investments made, but not a number is given to the important values and services produced by such a great workforce. A superficial assessment of what such services are worth will reach many a billion of dollars or Euros. Some Rotarians calculated that figure to be more than ten billion dollars of direct work and about one hundred billion dollars of social economic services by communities. In other words, to this point, Rotarians do not usually account for and disclose such values effectively concerning the impacts of their work. Some of us even think - what is offered with the right hand should not be charged with the other.
But in the present world of constant and drastic changes no enterprise, be that a corporation set for profit or a large not for profit humanistic service entity cannot refrain from publicizing its undertakings. Thus, we need to study better ways of assigning value to our work and making people know about it, since participation of society is so important to have efficient, effective and equitable actions and actions. The action versus feed-back cycles can sustain future greater actions and better services. If we are effective and the publicity we will survive and grow. If we are not, we will not meet the requirements for keeping up being good Rotarians nor will we be able to acquire new members and more so of younger generations. Some friends say that in the present world, keeping a low profile is actually having no profile...
The importance of Rotary as a group “UNITING AND THUS BUILDING PEACE”, grew to the point that, along with the Red Cross, it is the only non-state entity participating in the UN Security Council. According Mrs. Kathrin Gibbons - she was the secretary for Cabot Lodge, one of founding officers of the UN – as I was an exchange student of AFS/Rotary/Lyons in Yakima, Wash., the original draft for the UN Charter and subsequent contributions came from Rotary. She was my American grandmother as exchange student.

Rotary consists of more than one million two hundred thousand members representing almost every profession that interact with an organization composed of more than 500 Rotary districts like ours. A large figure as for membership. However, when we look at the very large and populous regions like China and Russia, we observed in our study that demands are more than double. After all these new coming societies also have their reasons to found new Rotary Clubs.
Paralelly we are getting older as Rotarians and our experience and strengths as a steady organization are lacking followers of presently incoming generations. Our founders thought about that and at their times they did attract young people. I may say I was an example of that in reality, since Rotarians invited me into Rotary when i was only twenty five years old. Reflecting, today our founders of Rotary’s age waould be one hundred and forty years. Their grandchildren would be older than eighty. Due to their efforts of attracting new generation our average age is only sixty years. I am now sixty five. Although I am still working hard, my mental models are not of a youth’s anymore. The date Rotary was founded the average age of Rotarians was thirty five years. Tha age stratus represents now less than ten percent of Rotarians. In some Clubs null.
I attended several presentations by RI identifying it as a problem. For me it is a great opportunity since the existence of such a pulling vacuum exists. If such older and experienced Rotarians open their heart and minds and put in practice better systems for joint actions we will certainly be the nest for quite better executives, professionals of all kinds in a very attractive atmosphere for their own growth as human beings. Again, thirty five years of age is precisely the average age of our children all over and if we find ways for enthusing our children, by asking them what their interest are, then and only then will we be able to reach other youngsters. Dear friends in Rotary, we should consider ourselves lucky as we are ready to incorporate the generation of our children, just the way the founders incorporated the generation of our parents and grandparents with such valuable principles and values of SERVICE BEFORE SEL in mind. But to do so, we must serve the way young people ask us to. Not our own way only. We need to invite them to live as active Rotary thinkers and doers; we need to place them in the heart and brain of our Rotary Clubs. The language must be intelligible to them and not our traditional and full of taboos.

Hence, dear friends of Rotary Salvador Pituba you have been leaders for Rotary growth inside and outside your Club. My message as the District Governor of Rotary will be a message of learning with you ways and means for practicing in reality the message of our President Kalyan Banerjee’s - to ask us that we seek within ourselves for interior peace, values, and strengths, and join them with our peers’ and to good points all our Rotary Clubs have and put them available in a widespread embrace o humanity, starting with our District 4550. Humanity really needs such things, humanity really needs us Rotarians. While we are here there are many a human being suffering from wars, many have no access to good water, sewage systems, public health systems, public education and health, many die of starvation and the environment and very few can see and respect the environment as the source of life with quality. Many have no right as of yet to a social organization or a state of rights they could belong to and thus no essential practice of participatory democracy. 

We will study Rotary and we will work together our challenging humanistic projects. I will do my best to help you all on that. International exchanges will be doubled as I personally see that as one of the best friendship promoting flows. Let's get to work on relearning Rotary, with new élan. Let us make it more attractive to that in our district, will have our goal of SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND MEMBERS IN 2012 accomplished. A CHALLENGING GOAL, there is not a doubt, but one perfectly possible, if one considers that Rotary is adopting more flexible systems, and also by making more public the good results derived from our hard concepts and values. We also have two new E-Clubs in chartering procedures. They will be good to attract back those friends who like Rotary, but do not think they can be present at all meetings due to professional or geographic reasons. We also have a high latent power through founding Interacts in our public and private schools, since Interactians will talk Rotary to their parents.
For me, Rotary has always been a light to my path in search of fellowship training, public relations, interpersonal relations, continuing education and diversity, leadership and integrity in the profession. I owe much to Rotary and I consider myself a practical example for the inviting young professionals to join Rotary.
My best Rotarian greetings to all of you.
I am here to serve. And to help you in your service.
Thank you for your attention, 

Durval

Recently The President of Rotary International Kalyan Banerjee appointed our motivational amendment 2011-2012 as being the amendment that searches for the embracing among communities in order to build bridges between them. The new amendment makes us 'look inside each one of us, in every family, every Rotary Club in each District, with peace and great values , finding a meaning to involve all humanity, and modify anything that is considered negative during this search.' He also asked that all Governors would give their word of agreement in the goal of having each and everyone envolved trying to prepare the best conditions and motivations to the Convention in Bangcok 2012 with as many Rotarians as possible and trying to reach the number of 30,000. Brazilian leaders went to the booth to take their convention notes. In the picture the Director of Rotary International Antônino Mario.

Rotary Youth Exchange: The Best Program
Rotarians, who are volunteers working with its Youth Exchange for high students between 15 and
18 years old, know the answer to the question “What is the best high school student exchange
program?”
The answer is obvious when you think about it, as recommended in “The New Global Student,”
a bestselling international education guidebook by Maya Frost, a former RYE student, as well as
were her son and daughters.
Read for yourself at Maya’s blog: http://www.mayafrost.com/images/Rotary.Chapter.pdf where
you will find “The Most Recommended Exchange Program— and Why It’s the Best.”
The secret of RYE is that it’s staffed by devoted volunteers in over a 190 countries, who want to
take part in the training of young people in meeting the challenges of the world, by becoming a
truly “Citizen of the World,” understanding and respecting cultural differences, promoting World
Peace.
Join us in Rotary International District 4550 Youth Exchange, located in Northeast Brazil, to
exchange qualified students in either the Long-Term (1 year) or Short-Term (3 months) programs.

David Ferrell, Chairman, District 4550 YEP, Salvador, Bahia, Brazil
…and, David, the secret of our Rotary International Youth Exchange Program being such a fellowship promoting network is the fact that it is led and managed with humanistic and fellowship Rotary concepts, and it is always incorporating good practices and improvements, values and strengths, responsibility and accountability, thus correcting our weak points, and always by REACHING WITHIN TO EMBRACE HUMANITY, based on our presidential motto.
Durval Olivieri, District Governor Elect 2011-2012, Salvador, Bahia, Brazil.

CHAPTER ONE

Creative,Not Crazy

Our family’s story

FOLLOWING OUR INSTINCTS

If we did all the things we are capable of,
we would literally astound ourselves.
T h o m a s A . E d i s o n

In the summer of 2005 my husband and I decided to sell everything
and move abroad. There’s nothing too unusual about that
these days—except that we had four teenage daughters at the
time, and the youngest three were about to enter their freshman,
junior, and senior years of high school.
This book is about the lessons we learned—and the loopholes
we discovered—while shepherding our kids through high school,
into college, and beyond. Luckily, we stumbled upon a number of
affordable, accessible, and stunningly advantageous strategies
that American parents anywhere can use to help their
kids get both an enriching education and a perspective-shifting international
experience.
Sweet bonus: We saved a couple hundred thousand dollars in
the process.

MAYA FROST

We were not on a crusade of any kind and never once waved
a flag bearing the name of a particular educational movement.
Our exodus wasn’t spurred by fear, exasperation, or legal problems;
it was simply a matter of following our instincts in order to
give our kids what we felt would be a series of amazing opportunities
for more learning and creativity.
When others hear our story, they can’t help but make assumptions
about us. Some we find hilarious.
Assumption 1: We had a ton of money and/or serious
connections.
Hoo-boy! That’s a good one.
Let me be clear:
We did not have a corporate cushion or support system of
any kind.
We had never received a bonus or stock payout in our lives.
We didn’t have a windfall from a business we had sold or
an uncle who had died.
We did not know anyone who had done what we were
considering.
We had no contacts where we were going.
We did not speak the language.
We were staring at multiple simultaneous college tuitions.
Need some numbers? Our annual income was firmly planted in
the five figures—together. We weren’t exactly swimming in cash, but
we were more than comfortable. Our lifestyle was lean by design—
we were choosing to work less than we could have because we valued
our time with our kids. Or at least, that was our story.
Anyone looking at our tax forms would have said we were
wildly optimistic (that being the polite way of putting it) to entertain
the thought that we could move abroad, figure out how to
make a living, and afford college for our girls.
THE NEW GLOBAL STUDENT 5
And yet we had this feeling that not only could we continue to
make enough to live well but that we’d actually save more money
for college by living abroad than we could by staying in Oregon.
(Juicy details later, but suffice it to say that this turned out to be
a fantastic college-savings plan that only the most astute and
progressive financial adviser would recommend.)
Assumption 2: We were oddball parents.
Quirky. They think we must have been the kind of people you
whisper about at parent meetings or avoid when you run into
them in the grocery store.
The boring truth is that we were nice, normal people leading
ordinary lives.
There was nothing particularly noteworthy about us. We weren’t
wild-eyed survivalists seeking a place to hunker down and wait for
the Big KaBlooey, nor were we adrenaline-junkie adventurers off
to scale the highest peaks. We didn’t have a dream of sailing around
the world; nor did we have an irresistible urge to go out and save it.
Reasonably well mannered and inconspicuously attired, we did not
embarrass our kids in public—unless my husband wanted to have
a little fun, that is.
You wouldn’t have looked twice at us at Starbucks, I swear.
Assumption 3: We were disconnected or just plain miserable
where we were.
Well, no more than most people living in suburban America.
We didn’t rant about the failings of our education system or
launch into tirades about the decline of modern civilization—at
least, not in mixed company or without provocation (or a few
beers). Staunch supporters of the public schools, we had a tremendous
amount of appreciation for the many caring teachers and
conscientious administrators who were so committed to our kids
and their classmates.
