Transcription:

I am Micheal Riera and I have a PhD in Psychology. I spent my entire carrier working with kids. I have written a few books and I have worked in Television for a while and I really enjoyed it. But I would really always come back to education. Most alive for me is working with kids, face to face, working with school system where they live the most and watching how they change overtime. I have been a Teacher. I have been a school counselor. Currently I am the head of school the Los Angeles at age of 12 which i love because i get to see all the different developmental periods these kids go through. I live in with my family here in Los Angeles. My wife, my daughter, my son. We got a dog, we got a cat, we got a bunch of fish. A lively home in other words. In my spare time i love to do the Martial Arts. Keeps me out of trouble, keeps me in shape. Takes my aggression out of all sorts of other people, all are doing the same thing to me. We have fun together. I play basketball on weekends. My son and my daughter play guitar together not well but we play together and we have fun with it and we tried to do lots of goofy few things as a family. Pretty silly house to be in.
