I had 5 preps plus I was in charge of the service learning program, the international students, and the social justice club.
But I had a principal who was GREAT!
From the very beginning, he encouraged me to think outside the box and experiment.
At first that was overwhelming, but he trusted me as a professional and I soon discovered my passions.
As the service learning coordinator, I was allowed to organize monthly service learning activities where students served meals at a local homeless shelter, cooked dinner for a half-way house, played games at the senior center, and organized a blood drive.

The service learning program, which had been lacking in the previous years, was suddenly thriving and I always had a full list of students signed up.
That program initiated a sense of activism in our students and they requested to start a social justice club.
