I am an Asian American Woman in education. I have my Bachelor's degree in Human Development and Psychology. I finished my teaching credential in one year and my Master's degree in Education in one year after that. I have been teaching for four years. On March 15, 2010, the impossible happened. I received a pink slip. I am Asian American. I worked hard to get where I am. I work in a high poverty school where children are given free or reduced priced lunches everyday. I work long hours and I don't get paid overtime.
