Rico's Story
Life
Well, where to begin?
I guess I would describe my younger days as being the type that would answer a perfectly sane question with an answer that would leave one questioning my sanity. I've lightened up much since then and have found the real direction my life needed to take.
Right after high school, I opted not to attend UN-L and went to Harvard on the Hill for pre-engineering.

I'm teaching Geometry, Algebra II, and AP Calculus this year at Yuma High School. So far, the kids think I'm crazy...but in a GOOD way.
God bless.
