My name is Sam Cordero. I am 43 years old. Born in Dallas, Texas I am the son of two parents that met while they were attending Dallas Baptist Bible College. My father is from Puerto Rico and my mother is from Costa Rica so Spanish was definitely my first language. I lived in Puerto Rico for a good amount of years. I’ve been speaking English since the second grade.
My family has been living here in this area for 6 years now and we love it. I enjoy a variety of sports such as baseball, basketball and football. I coached a girls varsity basketball team for the last two years and have helped with community basketball as assistant coach.
I really love the Spanish culture that I grew up in. Puerto Rico is filled with lots of amazing places to see, beautiful beaches and many great restaurants with excellent food. The people there are full of life and expression and are very big on family. They are also very inviting, making you part of their family.
I look forward to bringing that type of energy and passion for learning Spanish in the classroom, with a big splash of that Latin culture that I love so much. I hope that the students will come to see my love for the Spanish culture and all it has to offer and love it themselves.
Litchfield Christian School has been such a beautiful blessing to our family. LCS is a Christ-centered school that challenges students academically, nurtures their creativity, promotes a positive learning environment, and contributes to their spiritual growth. LCS is very supportive, and they encourage their students and their families. Our daughter came into LCS completely broken and empty. Public school had taken a drastic toll on her mental health. She had pleaded with us for over a year to homeschool her. We were at a loss. Our daughter is a very social person, and we knew she needed more. We decided to check out LCS as an alternative. From the very moment we stepped inside LCS, we could see and feel the genuine love. EVERYONE felt as if they belonged. Before our day of observing was over, she had asked if she could please come to LCS. She was smiling and said this place is my kind of place. It's definitely been just that!
Today she is thriving, and she is truly enjoying herself. She loves to go to school, and she loves all of the teachers. She has made good friends and is blossoming in all areas of life. She's even started singing on stage during chapel. This has been the best decision we could have ever made as parents for our daughter. We are incredibly thankful for this opportunity in our hometown, and we truly appreciate that LCS offers grades K-12. How blessed we are to be a part of Litchfield Christian School. We look forward to many more amazing years here.
