Introduction/Introducción
My name is Roxana Jiménez. I have been working with Soquel High School Students since 1995-1996. To see the amazing language progress and accomplishments students show through the years has been very rewarding. My favorite experiences have been running into my past students around town and hear them talk about their traveling experiences in Spanish speaking nations or when I find out that they are becoming Spanish teachers themselves.
Mi nombre es Roxana Jiménez. He enseñado español en Soquel desde el año 1995-1996. Ver el progreso y logros de los estudiantes a través de los años ha sido muy satisfactorio. Mis experiencias favoritas han sucedido cuando encuentro a mis estudiantes que he tenido en mis clases y me cuentan de sus experiencias con el español en el extranjero y especialmente cuando me dicen que se van a convertir en maestros de español también.
Mission/Misión
My mission as a Spanish teacher is to infuse all students with enthusiasm and passion for the Spanish language and its fascinating cultures. Once students discover the benefits and importance of acquiring Spanish, they will carry it beyond the classroom walls into their present and future lives.
Mi misión principal como maestro del español es transmitir y llenar a los estudiantes con entusiasmo y pasión de aprender el lenguaje y las culturas. Una vez los estudiantes descubran los beneficios e importancias de adquirirlo, ellos lo exportaran más allá de las paredes del salón de clase y en sus vidas presentes y futuras.
