My name is Carmen E. Parra and I am Bilingual Social Studies teacher in 6th grade for the Toucans Cluster. I am from Venezuela and I have been living in Houston since 2002. I received a Bachelor Degree on Business Administration in 1997 at the University of Rafael Belloso Chacin in Maracaibo, Venezuela. After that, I moved to Barcelona, Spain and earned a Master’s Degree in Finances at the University of Gerona in 2000. In 2002, I got married and moved to Houston where my husband was working. After a year living here, I went back to school to get a certification as a Bilingual Teacher at North Harris College finishing it in 2004.
In my class, you will travel around the World, learning different cultures, religions and history from different countries. You will also discover how the past impacts our lives today, explore how the successes and failures of our ancestors created the world we live in, and together we will use the past to help us make better decisions about the future and accountable to take responsibility for our own success. Believing that past is the key to have the ability to fundamentally change the future, I will constantly challenge students to understand how each person has the ability to be successful, follow their dreams, and do their part for a better tomorrow.
