"A Positive Influence," by Sheila

I wanted to do this to support all of my gay friends, but more importantly to be a positive role model for social justice for my high school students.

I teach at a high school that is predmoninantly Hispanic.  Unfortunately, the culture can be very homophobic.

As a well respected teacher, I knew that I could be a 'positive influence'.

Best regards,

Sheila

You're a teacher, so a lot of people look up to you, like me, a student. This was so sweet and caring for you to do because a lot of people are OK with gay people, but won't speak out about it. Thanks for setting the example...you're a shooting star.
