Today 22 years ago I took a big leap: I left my executive Senate job to come to the US for a doctorate. Since I was 11 y.o. I had been attracted by the words "We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal..." A beacon to the world!
What a journey it's been. I am proud to pass on my passion for innovation, individual rights, civic duty, & spirit of self trust to reach and fulfill one's infinite potential to all hearing.
A daughter starting college today, a doctorate and a Juris Doctor degrees later, having studied, lived, taught & led in 8 states & on US AFBs abroad, having influenced over 3700 students the best way I could, having learned a lot from all my teachers, students & friends everywhere, I'm building the next 22+ years of the journey.
The future? Life is what you make of it: we'll make the best of it. We'll help all people learn to achieve their true potential, no matter what. Persuade. Litigate if we must. Globally!
I am thankful to my adoptive country & hopeful for it too. America always had the endurance to do what counts moving forward, in spite of all barriers it faced. We'll keep charging ahead & lead the world. No doubt about it. Good spirit of 1492, 1776 & 1879 too (Standing Bear v Crook) lives on. Beacon keeps shining.
Thank you!
Adrian S. Petrescu, Ph.D., J.D.
