"Art is what connects us to all the other areas of intelligence and development.
Including people who are inclined to math, or any other field, art opens doors
to everything, it gives you the possibility to develop other parts of the mind." – Mrs. Talarico. These are wise words from SCCS’s new art teacher Mrs.Talarico
who has made the SCCS community thankful, for the dedication she possesses; and
proud, for the many achievements she has acquired through the years.
Living
most of her life in Bolivia, but born in Santiago Chile she calls herself a
Bolivian. She received her college education in Europe and loves travelling especially
when the voyages offer learning and growing experience. Recently going to
Turkey she was marveled of the beauty and rich culture of the country. Nether
less she feels she has embraced Bolivia and calls it her home. She even dared
to say she was “tropicalized” and was “here to stay”.
When
I questioned her about her job and why she had chosen to be an art teacher she
simply said “I love my job” in such a manner that even if she had said
something like “I love being a puddle of water” I would have believed her. Mrs.
Talarico is a woman who is passionate about what she does and wants only to
help young adults achieve their highest potential in all fields. She left it
very clear that her choice in career was one of the best decisions she has
taken.
It
is widely known around school that Mrs.Talarico has received national awards
for her works of poetry, but this humble writer doesn’t brag about the many
children’s books she has published and the awards she has received for them as
well. When I asked where she gets
inspiration she smiled and replied “the kids.” Being in an environment where
she is able to help expand human minds she takes full advantage of her current
position.
Mrs.
Talarico has made SCCS richer this year with her encouraging words, kind
actions and leading with example, example of someone who has perused her
passion in life and is content with her decisions.
