I teach the Art, Media and Computer Apps at a High School in Hayward, CA with over 2000 economically and culturally diverse students. Almost half qualify for free and reduced lunch. I drive over an hour each day to get there, it is where I want to teach. I became a teacher to make a better world, one student at a time. Instead I am a farmer. Planting seeds. Your donations are the water and fertilizer that help me make sure that those seeds take root and grow.
