In my mind, I'm already gone! (To China)

About Me

I am (generally) a happy, energetic, optimistic and slightly nutty Persian-Latin-American who is trying to find her place in this ever changing world. Hopefully my place will be in China, writing and implementing arts integrated curricula for middle and high school aged students. Which X-Men Character Are You??
ROGUE!!
