Yes, it's true! I now have my own online journal. Since I constantly have "send a group email" written on my to-do list, I figured this was a possible solution. I'm hoping to share stories about the adventures of being a second-grade Spanish teacher on the Mexico border. Enjoy! :)

Hi, I'm Lori! I grew up in beautiful southern Oregon then graduated from Willamette University in Salem, Oregon in May 2004. After graduating with a degree in exercise science and a minor in Spanish, I joined Teach for America in the Rio Grande Valley. For two years I taught bilingual first and second grade in South Texas on the Mexico border. I learned about the realities of educational inequality through my job in Texas' 5th poorest school district. Now, I am a graduate student at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. After four years of study I will have a doctorate of physical therapy and masters in public health. I'm currently on my long-term PT clinical rotations in St. Louis and Memphis.
