ucsd engagement | cheryl + roman
hehehe, I got to put my Physics degree to use for the above shot. ha! Cheryl and Roman met while teaching biology. They are one of THE BEST teachers and people I have ever met in my life. We actually used to all teach together in South LA. Cheryl was super woman – she literally would coach tennis, teach AP Bio, and attend 2 meetings… all at the same time! We used to joke that she had a teleporter. Roman then became our assistant principal and was the BEST administrator ever. He had amazing vision for our school and brought up our entire science department, and then our entire school. I have always admired his positive outlook and perspective.
RED CAB are their initals! cute, huh? They even started a business together using this name!
So this was the first time I have ever seen them show any PDA! I love Roman’s reaction to her kiss. 
One of Cheryl’s famous lessons was her sex lesson during Valentine’s Day. The kids were all given test tubes with fluids and were encouraged to go around and “have sex”. They had to exchange fluids with as many partners as they could to demonstrate the transmission of STDs. She used to so excitedly say, “Have more sex!” So it was perfect when we saw this!
I had so much fun exploring UCSD and looking for all the little nooks & cranny.
I love the architecture of Geisel Library. Those columns are supposed to look like hands holding up books. My idea for this next shot is them examining us. Us viewers are always looking at the subjects (couple), so this time, I wanted these biologist to look at us.
EYE see you! I borrowed my dad’s magnifying glass to tie in the whole science/school theme. When my parents came home and found it missing, they got worried because they thought I needed it to read! But what they don’t know is unless you count blogs, I don’t read.
And I just love this next photo.
I am so blessed to have even met these two. The world needs more positive people like these two, especially ones who are so committed to social justice and our youth.
