About me:

I was born in Okinawa,Japan, and came to the United States in 1968 with my husband and two daughters.  I attended ESL classes at Miracosta College and then went to main campus and graduated from Miracosta College. I love to work with ESL students because I know how important it is to learn English to be successful in this country.  I was at same place as the ESL  students are right now.  I had my own business and retired from it in 2001. I couldn't have done it if I hadn't known enough English language. Now I  practice and teach yoga in the mornings and work in ESL classes as an instructional aide at CLC in the evenings. I enjoy working with the students from diffrent part of the countries all over the world.
