**My name is Gerson Marroquin**
**and **** I’m a veteran of the U.S. Army and was a Firefighter/EMT before I enlisted. Most of my family lives in beautiful Denver Colorado. My parents are native to Guatemala, that’s Central America to you… I have a old sister and a younger brother so yes that puts me right in the middle! I was born in Los Angeles California and moved to Denver in 1994. A move that I was looking forward to! Don’t get me wrong, I love California but change in good. After graduating from South High School I took an interest in becoming a firefighter/ENT. I accomplished that and looked for a new challenge and found it in the military. I enlisted in the U.S. Army for 6 years in the infantry/combat-arms and ended up doing 2 tours in the Iraq. After the Army I felt a calling into education. I believe in seeking a higher education and fell in love with teaching and coaching. **

** This poem by Kevin William Huff sums up why want to become a teacher… **

Teachers Paint their minds and guide their thoughts Share their achievements and advise their faults

Inspire a Love of knowledge and truth As you light the path Which leads our youth

For our future brightens with each lesson you teach Each smile you lengthen Each goal you help reach

For the dawn of each poet each philosopher and king <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Begins with a Teacher <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">And the wisdom they bring


 * There you have it, in a nutshell… a little bit about myself.**
