Eclectivity: the tapestry of ethnicity, education, exposure, cultures,
skin pigments, creativity, dreamers, and wanderers who have become woven in to
the fabric of a new perception.
"When all are welcomed to blend their contributions to their
chosen home…you have Eclectivity!
You Have Frisco, Texas!" j.b. blocker
STANLEY (Hui) WANG
Candidate, Frisco City Council Place 1
Hui (pronounced
Way) was raised in Central China, the son of two educators being paid about $25
a week. As a prodigy, he attended the highest rated school systems in his
country where he ranked at the top of his class.
It was in middle
school where he became acquainted with his future wife Liz who went on to
become a Doctor of Internal Medicine.
As it is for most
of the highly competitive academic titans of Chinese students, it was a dream
to one day be accepted to other world class institutes of higher
education.
Because of a
proposed hypothesis for measuring the pressure of light, he was
accepted to Yale University. Way arrived to the campus with $300 and a
willingness to also hold a job while striving to be the best of the best in
academics.
Liz still proudly displays some of the thousands of notes, cards, and letters they exchanged. Stan proved to be devoted to communicating with Liz across the time zones long before cell phones, text messages, and e-mails were more than ideas. Over the years of separation Liz completed her internship as a medical doctor. The love birds wrote each other as often as every other day.
It is a love and devotion that is still on display every time one of them speaks about the other.

With little future in Chemical Engineering to turn to, Hui found work on Wall Street as an Analyst. He taught himself all the highest levels of programming and moved up the corporate ladder of expertise in gathering and presenting big data.
It was during his
time at Wall Street that the family with two young children discovered
Christianity. When his wife urged him to consider the Bible and its teachings,
he read it and discovered that it made sense to him.
Coming from an
Atheist/Communist society, they had no exposure to religion. But they knew
something was missing in their lives.
One of his first
favorite authors was Pastor Charles Stanley, a leader in the Baptist Church.
Hui took Stanley as his American name and would later become a student at
Dallas Theological Seminary.
Stanley cares
nothing about sports unless one of his 4 children are participating. While his
wife is gregarious and spirited, Stanley is observant and analytical. He is a
voracious reader of Economics, History, and Politics.
Their
commitment to Frisco as their permanent home grew, and Stanley's interest in the
city's economy drove him to research cause and effect. He discovered questions
that had no answers. He discovered patterns that had serious consequences.
This was where
Stanley's experience and intellect drove him to ask more questions and question
the possibilities. He recognized what has happened all over the state and
country when city leaders became overwhelmed with budgets, taxation, and
predictable possibilities.
Stanley doesn't
care to cut ribbons.
He doesn't even really know who the Jones's are. What he does care about is the gift of Data Analysis and how he can contribute to the financial well-being of a city that has won the heart of his family. It is for this reason that he offers himself to the City of Frisco and its citizens. Place 1, ninth on the ballot. Feb. 18th
