One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got a grant from my school to learn about radical education in Mexico and met a personal hero, Gustavo Esteva. I went to fantastic lectures he gave and learned a lot through some connections to interesting people he has. I went to a progressive school for oppressed kids and learned about their mission, I went to a government center for educational studies to find out about the projects there, and interviewed workshop-organizing marxists, all in two weeks!

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to help anyone with French, or of course with English.

I would love to improve my French further and learn more Spanish.

I can also help with basic guitar and piano skills.
