Just joined – here's my story!

Hi everyone!

I've been a lurker on a lot of these forums/websites. Read crazy stories, read weird stories, read wholesome stories. You name it...

Here's mine:

The interesting thing was that I was unintentionally introduced to a lot of religions as a kid. My family is Hmong, refugees of the Vietnam War from Laos. I was born in a refugee camp in Thailand and grew up in a conservative town in Wisconsin, and then moved to a liberal one: Madison, Wisconsin. Which is pretty diverse for Wisconsin, so I saw a lot of other cultures and religions...

I had heard many origin stories, but no secular ones surprisingly! I finally heard about the Big Bang theory in 6th grade. And as a found my love for science and teaching, I realized that the Big Bang theory needed a story too.

As an educator now, I'm actually working to publish the first book to explain the Big Bang theory to preschoolers!

Welcome mate from Australia.
That you are working on such a book is beyond awesome.
The earlier kids are introduced to science the better.

Welcome aboard, GT.
Curiously, I was in Madison about a year ago, for a conference.
That book idea sounds great. I hope you succeed in it.
