ABOUT ME…I am originally from Puerto Rico. My dad served in the U.S. Army so we moved A LOT! I have lived in many states and then I have also lived and visited many countries abroad. I have 2 sisters, one lives in Brainerd, and my other sister lives in Wichita, Kansas. I am the middle child. I live in Brainerd but will be moving to Pillager shortly as we are finishing building our home. I have 4 children, Raymond is the oldest, he is in 11th grade, Joseph is in 4th grade, Anthony is in 2nd grade, and Isabella is 3 years old. We also have a lab named Lady. In my free time I love to spend time with my family, camping, biking, swimming, etc. I especially love to travel to different places (not cold ones) and learn about different cultures.

WHERE DID I GO TO SCHOOL?Like I had mentioned before, we moved a lot and I am so thankful for seeing all the places I had the pleasure of living in and visiting. I graduated H.S. from Leavenworth, Kansas. I began going to college at Kansas State University and later transferred to St. Cloud State University. I earned my Bachelor’s degree and several years later I returned to school to get my Master’s degree from Southwest Minnesota State University. I love going to school and it truly has nothing to do with being a teacher. I just love to learn!

HELPFUL WEBSITES Rivera’s webpage on the Pillager Website

*Although this is a great site with many resources, I will not accept any work that has been translated by the internet. An occasional word is very different to an entire assignment. You will receive a zero if online translators are being used to complete assignments.

*Plagiarism will not be tolerated. All sources must be cited!
