For the last three years, I've taught 11th and 12th grade English at Locke High School in South Central Los Angeles. I learned so much more than I taught, and I have my students to thank for that. With Violet's birth and Locke converting to charter status, I will not be returning next year, but Erik, Violet, and I did go to graduation to wish my seniors good luck and say goodbye. It was so hot! I felt really bad for dressing Violet in PJs... but she was sound asleep when we left the house!
To my illustrious scholars: Congratulations! You have overcome, and I look forward to hearing of your future successes. You have made me so proud. If you can humble, teach, and inspire one person so deeply, imagine what you will do for multitudes in the future.
