Sep 30, 2024 - Where am I from? (462 words): I have been teaching for about 15 years. One common point of interest from my students (sometimes more than what I am teaching) is where I am from? I usually let students try and figure it out, which until two years ago was what I thought was essentially impossible (bravo to Ilia!).
