"You must strive to find your own voice. Because the longer you wait to begin, the less likely you are to find it at all. Thoreau said, 'Most men lead lives of quiet desperation.' Don't be resigned to that. Break out!"
~John Keating ala Robin Williams

“Genius is play, and man's capacity for achieving genius is infinite, and many may achieve genius only through play.”

BIOGRAPHY
Carol Cabrera is a 9th Grade Humanities Teacher at High Tech High North County. This is her second year in the High Tech High community. Before moving here to teach, she taught in El Dorado, Arkansas, where she helped found a project based learning school called El Dorado New Tech High School where she worked as an English/Civics/Economics teacher in an integrated project based learning environment. She holds a theatre degree with an emphasis in directing and a literature/writing degree with an emphasis in poetry and playwriting from the University of California, San Diego. Upon graduation, she joined an education branch of Americorp called Teach for America and moved to the Mississippi Delta region to share her love for literature with high school students. She previously worked as a Teaching Artist for the California Playwrights Project, and still continues to support the organization today. A huge advocate of the arts, Carol is always trying to practice her own creativity--she is a playwright, a teacher of playwriting, a guitar-playing, piano-playing, singer-songwriter, theatre director who does make-up design on the side of all of it. 

"We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for...You are here...life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. That the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?"
