Thumbs up

It is a lot of Mexican food but depending on where you are you can get really good Native American food. I found it to be very difficult to teach where I am at because the students don't have the motivation to be better people. I live and taught in Eastern New Mexico where most of my students were either heavy on drugs or pregnant. Of course I did have students who were going to go to some top Universities but the then I had others students that didn't have the home life to support there desire to become more. I spent a lot of time praying for my students and the situations they were in at home. You spend a tremdous amount of time trying to motivate them to be better people and contributors to society.

Don't get me wrong New Mexico is one of the most beautiful states I have ever seen and the people are incredible, but we are also one of the poorest states which is reflected in our welfare base. If you have any other questions, I would be happy to try to answer them.
