I was blessed to grow up in an amazingly nurturing cultural environment. This book is further proof of my Romanian upbringing. It combines a multitude of universal influences with the sensible wisdom of my simple but proud and accomplished people. It is sadness and thought, history and reality, timeless wisdom and inspiration from above. It's unique and hopefully inspiring. As you may notice from the previews, the book is written, for the most part, in Romanian. It's a collection of my high school writings - one of the most prolific times so far - a time when I was indeed very much immersed in the literary universe. As this was years before my American journey, I wrote as I felt : in Romanian - words and meanings had more intensity in my native language. I never attempted an English translation, however I would not be opposed to one should someone have time on their hands and find this to be a fulfilling project.



Note to the reader:

This version was made public at the request of those who wished to read some of my early writings. My high school published articles and my thesis on "Internet Addiction" are not included in this book. I'm just "testing" the service that Blurb provides with this initial publishing.
