Having lived in a variety of countries‚ I have developed a level of interest and compassion for various communities and environments. I often felt like an outsider when my family and I would initially move to a new city.

During my fourteen years working as an educator in the Houston area‚ I have always taught in Title 1 schools. It is generally acknowledged that Title I schools host a great number of struggling and ELL students. Most of these children lack the basic means to succeed in school‚ due to either insufficient economic resources or limited English Language skills.

Many people over look mental health issues and it’s kind of crazy when this has such a big role for problems in the world. I don’t believe in prescribing medications to people to try to fix their problems but‚ I think talking about problems is beneficial.

We need friends and family to talk to but‚ we also need someone that has no biased opinion or connection

I am not a label. No matter how hard anyone tries to fit me under a label‚ or define me as something I am not‚ it will not work. I am a mixture‚ a melting pot of many different cultures and beliefs. My own unique cultural identity is compiled from many aspects of my life‚ like my ethnicities‚ my parents’ backgrounds and food; they all come together to make me who I am and who I define myself as. All the time I get asked‚ “What are you?” To quickly get it over with I always “round” my ethnicities
