What a long strange trip it has been. From a former heroin abuser in a poor neighborhood in Michigan, to Michigan's 2007 Hispanic Artist of the Year, I constantly thank my blessings. Thanks for you for visiting my blog where I discuss what matters in education. I hope you enjoy my articles dealing with education and how we can improve education across the nation. If you are in the educational system and would like to see what I can do for your school please click HERE.

I Guess Art Runs In The Family.

August 14th, 2008

My son, Hector, was 16 when he started taking drawing more seriously.  He entered the Congressional Art Contest and became a semifinalist for Hawaii.  He represented Kauai.  He met Congresswoman, Mazie Hirono, our Congresswoman!  I love how art connects you with your world.  Hector drew Albert Einstein.
