I feel incredibly fortunate to have lived the life I have, and I'm deeply aware that much of my success stems from having access to a good education -- a privilege not everyone has. I would likely not be writing this series for Nikkei if I had been born into a different family and didn't have access to a good education.
Education is the cornerstone of unlocking human potential, and it's something I believe should be available to every individual, regardless of their circumstances. I have a great respect for the teaching profession but lament the fact that our education system in the U.S does not do a great job supporting teachers or education, and many children get left behind.
