I am a high school English Language Arts teacher in one of the most diverse cities in the country. My students come from all different backgrounds and cultures, but together have a love for learning. I find myself in constant awe over their capabilities, diligence, creativity and perseverance. In my classroom we work to motivate and inspire one another to want better, to do better and to be better, despite our individual situations and circumstance.
