My aunt and uncle worked at SFUSD for many, many years. My aunt for years had been telling me to work for the district because I’d get to work with kids. I finally got tired of what I was doing and I thought, ‘I’ll try it.’ And I just love it. I try to encourage the students to participate in activities and let them know, ‘Hey, this is memorable. You’re going to talk about this when you’re my age. You’ll remember and laugh.’ I try to encourage students to show school spirit by showing school spirit myself.  Once you tell them, ‘We’re going to do this, we’ll be a part of it,’ they’ll say, ‘Ok, I’ll be there. I’ll participate too.’ ”
