Milestones
My road in life took a while to figure out.
Coming into Cal State Fullerton, I majored in music, but ever since I had taken an intro to American Studies, I loved it so much I just had to switch majors.
After obtaining a teaching job, some were not fond of me as they were jealous of my creative and innovative ideas.

Day to Day
I teach mindfulness in the morning to a small group of kids. The rest of the workday I pull small groups of children and teach them reading, writing, and math. Then I pick up my daughters from school, cook dinner, help with homework and put my girls to bed. I sell Avon and Tupperware on the side.
