Make a Little Birdhouse in Your Soul

About Me

I'm 30, and I've lived in Daly City most of my life. I love the fog, and I love cold weather. I have a ready smile and laugh very easily. I love my family and my friends. I'm a writer at heart; I love observing people and hearing stories about their lives. I'm a really good listener and have an eerily sharp memory (I've been known to remember what people wore the first time I met them). I'm pretty down-to-earth but have lots of dreams and goals I want to fulfill. I want to travel around the world and write books someday. I'm a high school teacher, and for the most part, I love my job because I love working with young people. I like to think I make a small difference in the world or a least inspire young people to make a difference someday.
