Anibal Jimenez Email & Phone Number

I was born in the United States but grew up in Mexico. My family moved back to the United States when I was in 5th grade and as a result, I learned to appreciate and love both aspects of my ethnicity. This experience is what has shown me to be open-minded because there is strength and wisdom in a diverse world. This is partially where my love for history comes from as well and why I later decided to be a teacher. Currently, I work for Harmony Public Schools as a social studies teacher. I love teaching because I have been able to connect my life experiences with my love for history and bring it to life inside my classroom! I see myself as someone who is preparing future generations of leaders to be productive and empathetic members of our society. I do not accept any rhetoric that claims two people, groups, or nations can't work together and find common ground. I think that to make progress, one must always try to find compromises for the betterment of all. I teach my students to be problem-solvers and to always listen first to try to understand other people's perspectives. I try to do this myself as a department head in my school and as an educator in my community.
