JML: Hi, what is your name?
AT: Um, Mr. Tsujisaka.

JML: Okay, how is your personal life affected or influenced by your work?
AT: Um, I definitely noticed that my personality changes outside of school, but I definitely still carry teacher characteristics outside of school. So I sometimes treat my friends like students every once in a while

JML: Why did you choose to work in the education field?
AT: Half my family's in the education field, so I had either a choice to be a lawyer or a teacher and I am not the lawyer type. But honestly I just love the interaction with adolescents. That's my favorite part.

JML: Where did you grow up?
AT: Redwood City, CA. So, local.

JML: And where did you graduate from college?
AT: UC Santa Cruz

JML: Okay, thank you!

I think working as a substitute teacher has been..it's been great! And I really appreciate how, as a sub, it's flexible. I think it's cool that, when I'm not on a long term assignment, I can pick, "Ok I want the next couple of days off and go visit my friends in Santa Barbara" or I wanna go fish or do something.

Whether it's at lunch or during a free period. I think that's really nice and I think another part was... I guess being able to participate in some of the sports, uh I really appreciate running with cross country or playing badminton in the spring. I think that keeps me healthy...
