Book Review: Rambling on Borrowed Time is what you expect from a Brilliant Teacher who has Spent Several Years Inspiring People.
A
good book is like a diamond mine that never runs out. It is priceless. Successful
authors have mastered the art of carrying their readers along. This art is
endearing. It leaves the reader yearning for more.
In
David Ellison’s book, “Rambling on Borrowed Time”, I found happiness. It was
hard to drop. We learn new tricks every single day. The book is what you expect
from a brilliant teacher who has spent several years inspiring people.
During his thirty-six-year career, David
Ellison was a teacher, mentor teacher, school administrator, education
columnist and community activist. He worked in schools foreign and domestic,
public and private, grades four through college.
His treks through five continents included
volunteering in far-flung villages, and surviving harrowing adventures. He
served as the New Haven Unified and the American Council of School
Administrators Region VI Teacher of the Year in 1996. Now retired, Ellison
reads, writes, hikes, kayaks, cares for abandoned dogs and teaches children.
Ellison’s
vivid imagination will not only endear readers to him, it will make him a
shining light.
“Children all have that same amazing
power over me—not only to make me laugh, but to make me believe in myself, in
them, and in life.”
