About the author and the text Dr. Bob Hartman is a children’s story-teller and part-time pastor. He was born in Pittsburgh, the United Stated, and moved to England in the summer of 2000. This is a text about what students will experience in their “college years”. It is addressed to college students in the United Stated. But with some modifications, what the author says here will also make perfect sense to our students.
