QAIS Staff Profile of the Week – Cecilia Flores, Grade 3

What is your favorite traveling experience and why?

I love to travel and I think my favorite traveling experience is having the opportunity to see the world with my best friend. I am very fortunate and thankful to have had the opportunity to visit 22 countries. Seeing new places and learning from different cultures has been an amazing opportunity to live and grow!

What is your favorite book and why?

I love to read and I think one of my favorite books is Momo by Michael Ende. It is a story about the concept of time and how it is used by humans in modern societies. Momo, the main character, is a girl who brought the stolen time back to the people, by using one of the most powerful gifts that we can give each other: taking the time to listen. I really like how one little girl can make such a big difference. As a teacher this book helped me to see the Momo in each of my kids, brave and caring children.
