By Tyra ChesterIf you have never met Señora Garcia, she has a really cheerful personality.She had teached for 5 years before she came to Mac-Hi ,what's interesting is that she took a seven year break to have her two kids and build a family. One fun fact about her is that she has been to over 10 countries, one of them was Germany where she lived when she was really little. She learned German when she was little, but after she moved to America she forgot. Yet her love for traveling carried with her. As she grew up here in Milton-Freewater, her junior year in high school she went on an exchange to Brazil, where she picked up Portuguese. Her sister was the one who inspired her to go on an exchange when she went to Argentina.
It’s hard to imagine how her parents dealt with them being away for a full year but they were there to support them in their choices. Her parents grew up around here. Her dad even graduated from our very own Mac-Hi, her mom not too far away in Umapine.
As for her family, she met her husband in high school; you could call them “high school sweethearts”. Together they have two wonderful girls, who speak both Spanish and English. One is two, and the other is seven. With her two kids she stays pretty busy. Señora Garcia says her seven year old is turning into quite the little athlete doing t-ball for two years now, soccer, and has been in “kidnastics.” As for her two year old, she is just old enough for kidnastics. When she's not rushing her kids to practices and games, you might find her running or sitting down relaxing, reading a nice book.
