Vladimir talks about Pedro: When Pedro looks at the world he sees only the possibilities. While these possibilites have taken us from one coast to another it has also brought us to you. Pedro will complete his doctorate in December 2004 and looks forward to spending more time with friends, traveling and engaging in his passions of singing and directing his A Capella Choir. Encouraging students to see the world of possibillities is his mission and Pedro encourages them to use education as the vehicle to reach their dreams. Pedro's parents have adopted me as their own. Pedro is very close to his mom and dad, siblings, and extended family members. Chrismas Eve is always a major event in our family. Gifts and toys, however, are secondary to the fact that the family is together. I am sure the passion that Pedro expresses for his nieces, nephews, and students is only a fragment of what he has in store for our child. Pedro and I will encourage our child to experience a world of possibilities and choose those experiences which are the best fit.
