If being distinguished rests solely on published evidence than perhaps I am not notable.

The distinguishing thing about me as an alumni of Freeedom High is my career path. One not commonly followed: International Business. I present my resume as "evidence" of accomplishments.

I have worked international projects in the countries of Brazil, Cameroon, Colombia, India, U.K., Mexico, Paraguay and Venezuela. Climbed various mountains and learned about other cultures. Twenty plus years living and working outside of the USA. Experiences I now share with the up and coming generation of expatriates. I am now a mentor in a most unique field.

My linguistic accomplishments include proficiency in Portuguese and Spanish. Read, write, speak, translate and dream in them. I get by conversationally in French and Italian.

I am off on a new assignment starting in June 2010. Four years this time. 1 in Singaore and 3 in Brazil.

I see there is now an International Club. The International Club did not exist when I went to Freedom High. Then again I didn't know at that point in my life that I would end up being a professional expatriate.

If there is anything any of you might want to know about what it truly means to live and work "Internationally", I would be most happy to share some of my experiences (conquests and scars) with you. geetingbp@yahoo.com
