Hi, I'm Gloria.  I'm so excited! It sounds like a lot of us come from rural backgrounds.  Me, too. I was raised on a farm in North Dakota and raised my family in North Dakota, but now live in Colorado.  I teach ESL at Colorado State University and have been a teacher all my life. Name it and I have probably taught it (math excluded).  My passion is traveling.  When I got married 40 years ago I wanted to go to Paris for our honeymoon.  My husband said, "If you've got the money honey, I got the time".  I've paid for vacations since.  I am a workaholic but the money goes for travel  - 50 countries and counting.  Looking forward to working with you all.
