520 _aPREFACE Writing has been my life-long passion, one that | can say is thne only job I know. But, when I was given the assignment to write the life story of Foundation University's President Emeritus. Dr Edelmira "Mira" Fe Dragon Sinco, I had ambivalent thoughts For one, how do I give justice to Ma'am Mira's distinctive and her avwesome impressive journey? Can I breathe life to persona? Will | be able to approximate her remarkable achievements vis-à-vis my descriptive narrative? As these thoughts raced in my mind, I likewise wanted to know more than just skin-deep about the celebrated Ma'am Mira, as she is popularly known, who T had met many years ago as a journalist covering events at Foundation University. Fast forward to today., as fate would reckon, | have joined Foundation University and here | am, able to get up close and personal with Ma'am Mira. This biography is more than just a chronicle of her achievements, but a testament of her inspired leadership. Indeed, education has the power to change lives. A broader implication of her work is the takeaway that higher education today requires leaders who are not only knowledgeable, but also compassionate and innovative. The book also offers invaluable insights for educators, students, and anyone invested in the future of learning. Join us as we explore the life and legacy of an exceptional academic stalwart who has not only shaped a higher education institution, but has also inspired countless others to dream big and pursue their passions. Maria Cecilia M. Genove
