A letter from the Principal Investigator
Dr. Stacy L. Scott
Ayabekova Marzhan
My name is Dr. Stacy L. Scott, and I’d like to welcome you to The Spirit of Wonder Project, an idea which has been formulating in my mind for several years. This project is informed by my travels, consulting work, and background in education and psychology. I hope this project brings us together across borders and cultures everywhere.
I have had an extensive career in education beginning as a teacher at the middle school level and director of diversity programs for 15 years; as a psychologist, training, coaching and consulting to schools and their leadership for 21 years; and, finally as a superintendent and associate superintendent of schools for nine years. My first book and signature workshop named Making Equity Work was the focus of my work for many years.I have focused on bringing concerns of equity in education to light for the past 30 years.
Having worked with diverse communities internationally, this project also emerges from my belief in the power of people and my desire to bring this power to light. This project ultimately is peace project designed to bring the world closer together, one story at a time. This is my hope for The Spirit of Wonder Project. Join me in this effort.
I look forward to a fruitful collaboration!

My name is Marzhan . I’m coming from Kazakhstan, Central Asia. I’m a project manager in this project.
As being international student in US , I understand, how every foreigners struggle every single day. One of the biggest advantages of studying abroad is the chance to experience another culture that’s entirely different from your own. This enriching experience will help you see things in a different perspective. You will get to try new food, visit new places, listen to traditional music and lots more. Moreover, you can also teach someone else about your own culture. It’s a beautiful experience to see your culture from the perspective of someone else. Surprisingly, this can help you learn a lot about yourself and your own country. I love gathering different stories .
Please feel free , share your stories as being lived in US. I am happy to hear different stories

About spirit of wonder
We seek to collect stories about people’s developmental journeys from around the world.
Our main audience is anyone who has
a story to tell about their life goals and wants to hear other's stories. Through storytelling, participants share about this experience and reflect on how they are influenced by the context in which they live; their country, culture, or community. Likewise, participants reflect on the internal factors which affect their journeys as they pursue their goals.
