What country did you emigrate from? Germany

When did you emigrate to the U.S.? 1989

How did you arrive in the U.S.? plane

Why did you immigrate to the U.S.? I came to the US in acceptance of a scholarship for a graduate program after which I wanted to return home to Germany. However, I became a teacher and later a teacher trainer and decided to stay in this country to share my voice with the field of education. I love the spirit of American teachers and how much they give to children and I love to be a part of this quilt of diverse experiences.
Thanks for letting me be part of preparing Americans for the responsible use of freedom!
