My Profile

My nick name is Mr. G, I have called been that since I was a Inter-city High School Principal in Houston, Texas. I was born in Santa Fe New Mexico, USA and received my undergraduate degree from the University of New Mexico. The 1970s were an exciting time filled with dreams of civil rights and economic equality, my contribution was to become a Bilingual/ESL teacher. To teach poor Mexican kids to speak English was a huge step up for them economically and socially. I was then and am now very passionate about teaching English as a means of economic opportunity. I used to tell my Arab students in Abu Dhabi that Arabic was the Language of religion, Spanish the language of romance but English was the language of international business (MONEY).
