How important is spirituality in your life?
Spirituality is of the utmost importance to me. Although I do not ascribe to a religion, my connection to self, flora and fauna, and others is all part of my spiritual life.
kids got problems too
Most of my problems in high school stemmed from my parents issues. This had the greatest impact on my lack, failures and success in high school. I wished my teachers knew this. How my parents fought over me and my own desire to stay at my high school instead of transferring to another school. The familiarity and trajectory that I was on would have ensured my success. One parent thought that I would have a better education at the new school. I was registered at two schools and that tug of war landed me in a school where I felt alone and experienced racism in a way I hadn’t before.
Describe something you learned in high school.
Mr. Kennady
Who was your most influential teacher? Why?
It was the late 90s and Mr. Kennady lectured from a legal pad and wrote notes on the chalkboard. He was a Navy veteran and looked like an Irishman, dressed daily in a buttoned shirt and tie. He’d sit on his stool as the sage on the stage and I drank it all in. He made me want to be a history teacher.
