Hi from Marcia

Hi Everyone,
We are very happy to join you in the ESL Blog. We hope we'll get to know each other and become good friends!
About me: I was born and grew up in Sacramento, California. My grandparents came from China, so I'm a 3rd generation Chinese-American. I have 2 sisters and a brother. I got my bachelor's degree at the University of California, Davis, then got my master's degree in Vermont, where I met Kathie. Oh! that was a long time ago! But we're still friends, even though we live far apart and don't see each other often. We're part of the electronic global village - we can communicate instantly through emails and online journals - blogs, like this one.
I've been teaching at City College of San Francisco since 1985 at the Chinatown Northbeach Campus. My students come mostly from China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Vietnam, but we also have students from Mexico, El Salvador, Italy, Russia, Japan and other countries. THere are 6000 students on our campus and about 20,000 students at City College.
