How much do you like teaching GHP?
Teaching at GHP is traveling through the desert and finding a cold fountain of water to quench you parched thirst. All (spontaneous) metaphors aside, GHP is a wonderful experience that I will never forget. It is amazing to see what students are capable of when given intellectual freedom and virtually unlimited resources.
If you were a GHP student today, what would you want to be your major?
Comm. Arts or Soc Studs. I am fascinated by the dialogues that are created and continuously enriched by discussing ideas - in any language!
What words do you over use?
¿Qué piensas? If a student asks me a question, I prefer that they give me their opinion.
What annoys you?
Lazy people, complainers and slow drivers (I think I'm complaining)
Favorite movie(s)?
Garden State, American History X, Memento, Say Anything, Todo sobre mi madre, Memorias del subdesarrollo, Antes que anochezca, Y tú mamá también, and Los diarios de motocicleta.
Faborite music?
Anything but country (I have been listening to a lot of Weezer and Juanes)
Favorite book(s)?
Catcher in the Rye, Crime and Punishment, Niebla, Sab, Cien años de soledad, Don Quijote de la Mancha, Ficciones, and Luces de Bohemia
Family?
Beautiful and intelligent French-speaking girlfriend.
Pets?
2 cats: O'Malley & Toulouse

Espero que mis estudiantes salgan de GHP con el conocimiento de haber enfrentado múltiples retos, de haberlos superado y de haber hallado si mismos en el proceso.
