1) When you were younger what did you want to be?

1. An etymologist! I have this weird fascination for bugs!

 

2)When you were younger what superhero did you pretend/want to be and why?

It’s a tossup between the Blue Ranger and one of the kids from Captain Planet. Do you really have to ask why? =D

 

3) Who do you think is the most memorable student in Upward Bound and why?
My most memorable student… Hmmm. I’d have to say it’s Curdesia. She’s a nice girl and she makes me laugh. And when it comes to dance she has a good time while learning and that’s exactly what I want the kids to take out of this.

 

4) How was your first year in Upward Bound? Did you have a hard time working with the students?
This is my first year at Upward Bound. It’s a bit hard because this is actually my first year teaching as well. So there’s a lot of learning I need to do myself, but it’s going good so far.

 

5) When you were little who was the best teacher you ever had?
Best teacher… Hmmm. Had to be my 5th grade teacher, Mr. Root. He had a lot of different activities that really got you thinking and really made learning fun. It sounds cliché but hey it’s true!
