The author, a computer science professor diagnosed with terminal cancer, explores his life, the lessons that he has learned, how he has worked to achieve his childhood dreams, and the effect of his diagnosis on him and his family.

The 2019/2020 academic year marks the 20th anniversary of the ETC. To celebrate, we've reached out to ETC alumni to capture their stories. We talked with alums about their experiences at the ETC, how it helped shape their work and career after they left, and how it has impacted the work they have done, and are doing. As a professional degree, the proof of ETC's continued success is our amazing alumni, and we've tried to get a nice mix across the years and industries to help highlight the range of their work and accomplishments. This book captures twenty interviews, and we plan to continue talking with alumni to help share their stories.

"The activities for storytelling present in this book can be used at home, in schools, in libraries, and at community and organizational gatherings"--Page xiii.
