Notes
Ana Ramirez was the convocation speaker to start off the school year in 2014. She spoke of her literary hero and Nobel Prize winning author, Gabriel Garcia Marquez (who had recently died in April 2014) and his thoughts on the privilege of education.
In Ana's words: "In the attempt to pretend to comprehend someone else's culture, beliefs, values and systems, we misinterpret, misjudge and ultimately fail to learn and understand."
