I teach because students have touched me in a positive way.
Teaching has make me a better person and parent.
A shout-out to three of my former students' that are thriving
Jabari, Rogelio and Oscar.
Teacher, Coach, Inventor
So proud of my former student-athlete now coaching and the basis for a story in my new book "Thoughts of an Urban Teacher." He is teaching and coaching at the high school level. He also has a new patent pending and business venture.
Rogelio is a former student of mine that contacted me via social media. He is from Mexico, studied here in the USA with me and is now studying in Rome, Italy to become a priest. I am so proud to have had the opportunity to work with Rogelio. I interviewed him during my research for my book "A Teacher's View, Education in America."
One of my former student's Oscar Leon is living hs dream by following his passion for painting. He now has his own studio in Hollywood. We all expect to be able to say "I knew him when..." Keep going Oscar. This is an example of his painting's.
