To Jennifer, my wife and best friend. You make me want to do my best at everything I do.

To Jacob, my son and Bubba. I love your curiosity and desire to learn. Though I have been a teacher for over two decades, you inspire me to be the eternal student.

To Juliana, my daughter and baby girl. Your humor and laughter can always put a smile on my face.

—Jonathan Gordon

To my niece Kiki, who has an entire wonderful lifetime of learning and creativity ahead of her.
