About the Author

Randi D. Ward is a retired Language Arts teacher from Georgia, USA, who has always been a big dreamer. Her dreams have enabled her to travel to forty-nine countries; influence and inspire thousands of students; and achieve much happiness in her life. In November 2011, she traveled to Cairo, Egypt, to teach young Egyptian adults at an English language center because of a Facebook friend who was creating this new school. This three month experience of living and teaching in Egypt changed her life and attitudes about this often misunderstood region of the world forever, and she knew when she came back home in February 2012, this story and her amazing new insights must be shared with the world. Thus, BECAUSE I BELIEVED IN ME (MY EGYPTIAN FANTASY CAME TRUE) hopes to TEACH, INSPIRE, ENTERTAIN, AND ENLIGHTEN readers all over the world.
