  3. My name is Job Gekara, a retired teacher from Hayward Unified School District, California U.S.A; after having taught for over twenty five years, my urge is to come to the motherland. I attended UC Davis for my undergraduate degree and my multiple subject teaching credentials. My education included fouational general concepts in epistemology, metaphysics and pedagoge. I plan to return to Kenya soon.
