What’s a typical Saturday night like for you?

Going on road trips -- I usually go to Atlanta to visit different places. I try out restaurants I have not had a chance to eat at and just have fun. I don’t mind the drive -- ain’t nothing like jamming to some music on the way up there and back.

What is one of your hidden talents?

Not many people know I play the drums (whenever I have the time to). If I am stressed, I play the drums; if I am bored, I tend to play the drums. You could call me the little drummer boy, hahaa, nothing too dramatic.

What is your first memory from school?

My first memory from teaching high school was having forty-one ninth graders in one class. I told myself if I could make it through that, I can make it through anything. It was a good experience even if some days were not as good as others.

Are there any embarrassing teaching moments you’re willing to share? What are they?

The first year I started teaching I had to use the restroom, and I accidentally used the girls' bathroom. I did not realize it until I walked out and was like, woah, I was lost for words. That was an embarrassing moment for me, but I just kept going on with my day.

What song should students listen to when doing work for your class?

One song students should listen to is that song by Rihanna, “Work.” You want to know why?  Because students never want to do their work. Maybe playing the song will encourage them to pick their pencils up and write.
