We’ve all been curious about Mrs. Orobia, haven’t we? A new teacher from another country, how exciting!
I asked Mrs. Orobia what she thought was the best part about traveling from the Philippines to the United States, and she said the culture. Her idea of the United States was based on big cities, so Palestine was a pleasant surprise. It hasn’t always been easy. When she first landed, one of the airport staff yelled at her that she wasn’t in her country, so act American!
Her one piece of advice for students is this:
“Always show up, try your best, and trust the process.”
-Mrs. C. Orobia
