What do you enjoy most about:
Teaching at All Saints - All Saints is like an extended family.
Teachers and students pray for each other and help one another.
Teaching subject - As our world gets smaller and as the Hispanic
population increases in Texas and in the US, it is important that
our students learn the Spanish language. This will allow us to
understand one another and enhance the opportunities for better
jobs.
Teaching age group - I teach all levels of Spanish with students
from 14 years to 19 years old. This makes teaching challenging
but exciting as I see how well the students progress from level
to level.
Goals for students:
I do my best to prepare the students for each level of Spanish
to be able to speak, read, write, and understand Spanish. Many
students will be able to get college credits by passing placement
tests. Also, many will be confident to major or minor in Spanish.
Outside Interest:
My outside interests are mainly in sports. I have coached little
league baseball, T-ball, soccer, swim teams, and tennis. Roller
blading, tennis and golf, buggy boarding and snow-skiing are my
interests now. The ocean has always been my favorite habitat that
renews and strengthens me so I can relax.
