“My mother and my father had very, very strong Scots accents. We were Australian, and in those days when I was young, I spoke with a much more of an Australian accent than I have now. However I knew that if I went to England to become an actor, which I was determined to, I knew that I had to get rid of the Australian accent. We were colonials, we were Down Under somewhere, we were those little people Over There. But I was determined to become an Englishman.

And so I learned how widespread their educational evangelism really was.” PeopleKnowsSaidFatherParentKnownGoneSuccessfulTeacherCollegeImpactEducationalFavorsVery StrongSuccessful PeopleEvangelism Author:Condoleezza Rice
