When I was in college, I did not know what to do, just like most people. Then I took teaching job during the summer time. After that, I loved it. After I worked in Morocco, I wanted to try working on the west coast of the U.S. So, I came to Seattle, and I got a job in NWS. The first job at NWS was 7th grade Humanities. Ever since then, I have been working here. (Now, he is the Assistant Head of School!)
 * How did you become a teacher?**
 * Why did you come to Seattle and teach in The Northwest School?**

I would suggest students join sports teams. Do not worry about making mistakes, and ask questions. Last but not least, be yourself! Do not worry about being an American.
 * Since you are from other country, too, would you give some advice for the international students?**
