Meet Fullerton Union High School’s Sal Tinajero, our Teacher of the Year
It was Sal Tinajero’s innovative teaching methods and ability to motivate his students that earned him the 2005 Teacher of the Year Award.
Currently a speech and history teacher at Fullerton Union High School in California, Tinajero chose to stay close to his California roots. He’s a product of his native Santa Ana’s public school system, which led him to pursue a higher education fi rst at Orange Coast College, where he held various leadership positions, and then to Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois, where with a scholarship he earned a degree in communication. There, he made history as the university’s first Latino commencement speaker.

 Se Habla English
Almost 50 percent of U.S.-Born hispanics prefer english, and that's just the way it should be.
When it comes to language, a lot of Hispanics become so emotional that they can’t think clearly.
For instance, they sometimes let the fact that they were once upon a time discouraged from speaking Spanish—even to the point of being punished in school—fuel their support of bilingual education for the students of today. They’ve also been known to make fellow Hispanics who don’t speak Spanish feel as if they aren’t Hispanic enough.

Out of the Shadows
Every year an estimated 65,000 undocumented children graduate from public high schools in the United States. Despite having spent most of their lives, and having received most, if not all, of their education in this country, these young people are not eligible for in-state tuition for college, and worse still, there is no guarantee that they will be able to stay in the U.S. and work after graduation. The sad irony is that these students are highly assimilated and most know no other country but the U.S.

The Urge to Learn
It’s called the “Dream Act.” If it passes Congress, this legislation would open a world of possibility for Hispanic youth across the nation. Each year, 65,000 undocumented students graduate from American high schools, but their immigration status doesn’t allow them reasonable access to a college education. Present statutes deny these students in-state tuition rates, state and federal grants and loans, private scholarships, and the ability to work legally to earn their way through college. Though they have grown up in America’s schools and playgrounds, the American dream remains an illusion for these students.

Does
Your Major Matter?
For
many potential employers, your major is important for just
one reason: It's a handy abbreviation that sums up a lot of
messy facts about you in a single word or number. However,
a major need not box you in. The courses you take for credit
constitute a significant part of your college experience—and
your qualifications for employment.
