Hello, I am Francisco Sotelo and I am the Educational Counselor for the San Bernardino City Unified School District. I was born in Mexico and spoke Spanish only when I first came to the United States, which made my journey through the education system a little harder, but I knew that it would all pay off at the end. I was able to work through different obstacles to get my higher education and am now working to help others that are in similar situations. I want students to understand that they are capable of doing more than what they believe and that they all have the same potential as everyone else to achieve their goals. I have found that my path through the education system, not just as a student but also as a tutor and teacher, have given me the opportunity to see and help students from diverse backgrounds. My goal is to continue doing my best to better the odds for the students.
High Schools: Cajon HS, San Bernardino High School, Indian Spring High School, Pacific High School, Arroyo Valley High School, & San Gorgonio High School
