For Your Information!

Hola Everyone!
Hope you are doing well where-ever you are. School started and, as many of you know, I was not working, waiting for GRPS to call me back. Unfortunatelly, there were no positions available for my certifications and therefore I had to start looking somewhere else.

I started working at a school called West Michigan Academy for Environmental Science. So far I'm teaching English to 9th graders and Spanish to Sophmores, JUniors and Seniors. I have students from different parts of the world (we have exchange students); Japan, China, Thailand, Brasil, Switzerland and Mexico. Many of them are learning English so I get to spend time teaching them English while working on teaching Spanish! Funny!

I'll be at SWCC on Friday to meet with Haley, TJ and Viangely. I can only wish I could see you all there. I'll bring my camera to take pictures and compare them to the ones from previous years!

I have been praying for you, hoping you are safe, doing well in school and just suffering enough from the heart to remind you that this is not it, the future awaits, and the possibilities are endless. I'll keep writing so that you know what's going on.

For those of you who are taking the Social Studies MEAP this year, good luck, remember to start your essays with a Question, quote, sound effect, name, fact, statistic or a description of a setting (that's the new one, but it goes under name!) Remember to say you have a position, you either agree or desagree with the point exposed.

For those of you taking the ACT, SAT this year, I'll be praying for you. For my Juniors! Hang in there, is only one more year!!!! I really want to think that all of you will graduate from High School. Dont forget to invite me to your graduation!

Much love!
