My Story:
I was a student journalist from my junior year in high school through college, where I served on every publication—newspaper, yearbook, humor magazine and literary magazine. After teaching English for 11 years, I became the adviser to The Epitaph, the student newspaper at Homestead High School in Cupertino, Calif. I advised for 18 years until 1994. I have remained active in scholastic journalism in one capacity or another nearly all my life, right up to the present. I left the classroom in 2000 to become a full-time mentor teacher in the Silicon Valley New Teacher Project, and until recently, I worked for the New Teacher Center at UC Santa Cruz training new mentors around the country.

Nick! Welcome to the Five Freedoms Network. As you can see from the world map on our home page, we have a growing, eclectic community of individuals from across the globe -- from Doha, Qatar to Brooklyn, NY. Thank you for taking the time to add your voice (and story) to that fascinating mix.

As you surf around the Network and its companion site, www.fivefreedoms.org, I urge you to share your voice throughout. Take our You Be The Judge First Amendment quiz (a new scenario every two weeks). Leave a comment on a fellow member's personal page and make a new contact. Upload a video to our gallery, or watch and react to one already there. Join (or start) a group or visit the Soapbox to contribute to (or start) a discussion. And invite others to join us.

Post a comment on my page anytime with questions or ideas. And I'll see you down the road!
