teaching for 25 years.
Here at Clackamas he teach
es all the levels that are provid
ed; he also helps with the
Spanish Club, and he is taking
students to Cuernavaca, Mexico
this summer along with some
other faculty members.
When the lively teacher isn’t
working, he reads Latin litera
ture, his favorite style of litera
ture. He listens to music, and
traveling is a major priority.
“I have been all over the
world, but I want to travel to
more places,” said Junquera.
The humorous instructor still
has things on his “to-do” list,
like parachuting from a plane,
learning more languages and
traveling more. If he had a
choice of living anywhere in the
world, he couldn’t choose only
one place; he would live in sev
eral parts of the world.
One should know a few
things about Junquera.
“I’m a terrible dancer,” said
Junquera. The stereotype of a
Latin man being a terrific
dancer ijs not true in this case.
Also, if he could have any other
occupation, he would teach Tai-
Chi. “I’m interested in the
health part of it,” said Junquera.
Whatever the job, teaching has
something to do with it. “My
favorite part is the teaching.”
Junquera has a strong drive
to teach and it shows in the
classroom.
His passion for
teaching is so enthusiastic. His
charisma shows his experience
and devotion to teach.
“When I see students making
progress that gives me satisfac
tion that I’m doing my job.”

“They may be slightly diffi

Harber teaches a Plant

Plant

Plant
Propagation includes all the
different methods of creating

She also has a strong interest

After receiving her doctorate

said, “I felt isolated from real

“Now I am teaching,” she
said. “I am really enjoying it. I
love the students. It is great
fun.”
