I decided to go to Latin America because many of my students in Washington emigrated from this region and inspired me to learn more about their home countries.

I like to go to bed early.

I was sports editor for my high school newspaper, but I think I shied away from journalism.

Luckily I've had a lot of great friends that I've had for a long time.

I hope that I serve by being a teacher.

I think there are many ways to serve your country.

As a teacher you can see the difference in kids who have parents who were involved. That difference, by the time these kids get to the third grade, is drastic.
