I'm planning to earn a PhD--because it's something I have wanted to do since high school.
But, in the meantime, I am going to start a school.
The Terrell Institute, which may one day become Byron B. Terrell University--named after my father, who never learned enough to satisfy himself.
My intent will be to focus on the distance-learning domain.
