Teachers Get Around

By Davis Sutton

She’s been to Spain, France, New York City, Chicago, San Diego, and Whidbey Island.

Ms. Kara Asmussen isn’t just an L.A. teacher, L.A. dept. chair, and yearbook advisor at Kennedy High School.

When in France she ordered seafood by the bay but didn’t expect her prawn to be fresh. And still wishes to be back in France.

She loved visiting her parents in Whidbey Island, Washington over the summer. Located on the coast of the Pacific Ocean.

One of her favorite things to do is travel. She’s been to Spain and France with the Kennedy Spanish and France World Language Classes.

Another thing she likes to do is play with her dog, Bailey. She also loves crafting stuff.

She combined the two of them with her sister over the holidays. And made a hat for her sisters French Bulldog.

Her favorite movie is The Shawshank Redemption. She likes that is a story by Stephen King, and the unexpected turns.

She really likes her job. She likes the people she works with, likes the students, and gets to see every grade of students each day.

This is a story I wrote on a teacher at Kennedy. This was the first interview I was in. We interviewed her as a whole class for Intro to Journalism. Then we took a couple days in class to put the story together. This story was fun to write because it was my first and we got to learn how to interview, and put stories together.
