Luckily I've had a lot of great friends that I've had for a long time.
A lot of my colleagues at school became great friends of mine.
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.
Kids are so dynamic; if you're tired and you walk into a roomful of kids, your energy is brought up to their level.
I don't think I'm portrayed in the media the way I really am - but then who is?
I hope to work with kids any way possible.
