Hafa Adai! Get to know John San Nicolas

By -

 Hafa Adai!  I am one of the Guam Education Professionals contributing to this blog.  I began my teaching career at the age of 22 teaching ELA at George Washington High School.  Existential crisis set in and I left to pursue a career in the private sector managing a bar and growing a small magic performance business.  Life brought me back to the teaching profession and I have spent the last 9+ years with Guam's Second Chance Program servicing JP Torres Success Academy.  My next assignment will be at John F. Kennedy High School.  Educational technology has brought the modern classroom to places I would never have imagined as a kid.  So happy to be here sharing ideas and collaborating with my colleagues.  Enjoy my picture next to a set of encyclopedia.  Anyone old enough to remember using these?
