World Language Teacher Elizabeth Gorman keeps gifts from her students as little reminders.

Gorman works with an initiative at the high school that is trying to incorporate a pause into the culture.

Gorman recites a quote she keeps on her desk that reminds her to take a pause.

Every year, Gorman receives gifts from World Language Curriculum Coordinator Agnes Alberola – along with the rest of the department.

Gorman also keeps yoga instruction on her desk, since she teaches yoga class along with world language.

Different artwork from the Spanish-speaking world can also be found on Gorman’s desk.

Gorman keeps tea and almonds on her desk to keep a sense of calm.
