This is my first blog! It's all new to me. Just like teaching, I am a newbie to this. I have been a teacher for two years and still no classroom. I have visited many classrooms in the past few years, you see I'm a sub! I love to be in the classroom and would love to have one of my own but it just hasn't happened for me yet. I know my time will come until then...do you need a sub? LOL ;)
I am also a certified ESL teacher. My passion grew from my own family experience, I am a first generation Mexican-American. My mother and brother are from Mexico and English is their second language. Linguistics absolutely fascinates me... a famous man once said: If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart. Nelson Mandela
Right now I work as a sub, I'm a graduate student and work at a "mega" store. I have kids and a hubby! I wish I had a hobby but I just don't have time. I spend my days drinking coffee and my nights doing homework! Oh, I try to get some work (that pays) in there as well.
I will be sharing my journey until I get into a classroom with you. I will try to document my triumphs and my struggles. I hope to entertain and move you with courage, strength and determination. Gracias y vaya con dios! (Thanks and go with God!)
