Dear Readers, It is with great pleasure that I compose this literary work for your reading pleasure. It has come with reward and sacrifice over the years of climbing the academic ladder of Academia. Empirically speaking the elementary and grade school student does not realize the importance of their futures while they are in their present situations as students however the years of higher education & learning really bring into focus those earlier years in their Quest for Excellence & personal success. On my journey true academic awareness came into focus into high school, continuing through the Bachelors and Masters level, and continues as I begin to pursue my Ph. D to complete my ascent up the academic ladder of Academia. As you read the pages of this literary work you will find a collection of research datum as compiled through empirical research, scientific, referenced re-search work, and thesis in both hypothetical and theoretical research. Education, higher learning, empirical data, and research comes in many forms, these forms include but are not limited to classroom (classic) learning, observation, and life experiences. In this literary composition you will find a compilation of all of the types of learning and education in my personal example and my Quest for Excellence.
