Not far from Braintree, on the island of Nantucket, is where I grew up. Being a resident of a small island, there was only so much to do and see. Consequently, numbers of things like music, books, films, and television fostered a tremendous impact on my interests and activities. When it came time to begin our twelve year long journey through an educational system, my parents decided to move.
