He writes: "I had no idea to go into education. Teaching experience in Chile led me to get certificates and degrees in US. I had no idea to get married. Marriage to a Chilean affected life choices profoundly!. PC service helped me and put me on career education path. My Spanish skills pushed me willy-nilly into alternatives not otherwise available, first as neophyte teacher with no degree in San Mateo, and then being pushed rather than leaping into postgrad programs in US, with tremendous assistance/inspiration/support from WA State U, and from family.
