Hobbies
Outside of teaching, I am a student. I am part of a weekly Men's Bible Study group and that is very challenging and rewarding. I continue to take voice lessons twice a month. I also enjoy photography and putting those photo and written memories into scrapbooks. My family and friends' photos and written essays by me have filled many of my scrapbooks. Last, but not least, I really enjoy singing!! I am a church soloist and a member of two choirs: The Evangelical Choir and the San Antonio Choral Society. Both choirs have been a great experience for me as they have allowed me to do wonderful things such as sing for the mayor and city council at San Fernando Cathedral, travel to Europe, sing the National Anthem at a Spurs game, and expand my singing/ acting abilities to be a "pirate", a member of the Beatles, and a pop-jazz singer. I hope to be chosen to sing in an upcoming musical like "Mary Poppins" or "West Side Story".
