🎉 Celebrating #HispanicHeritageMonth! Joe Hudson - Hispanic Liaison, Annapolis Police Department #AACPSFamily #CelebrateDiversity #AACPSCelebrates #MesDeLaHerenciaHispana
7 months ago, Anne Arundel County Public Schools
Joe Hudson - Hispanic Liaison, Annapolis Police Department I was originally born and raised in Texas, my mother is from Mexico and my dad from Oklahoma. My mom taught me the value of service, helping people, and building relationships, and she is still at work in my life. Culture cures, and if you stay connected to your culture you can get through anything. Most of what I do is to honor my family and those who came before me.  As the Hispanic Liaison for the Annapolis Police Department, I have spent the past 15 years working in the community with our families and schools. At the office I provide interpretation services and other services for police investigations. In our schools, I volunteer my time with students by joining lunch bunches, mentoring students, and supporting unaccompanied minors. Over the years I worked with AACPS Bilingual Facilitators in the program Joven Noble to run mentor groups for students.   Students: you are perfect the way you are, and you’re going to be okay. Be worthy of a dream, and have your purpose be to map a way to make your dream come true.
Joe Hudson - Departamento de Policía de Annapolis Yo nací y crecí en Texas, mi mamá es de México y mi papá de Oklahoma. Mi mamá me enseñó el valor del servicio, de ayudar a la gente y de establecer vínculos, y ella sigue influyendo en mi vida. La cultura cura, y si te mantienes conectado a tu cultura puedes superar cualquier cosa. La mayor parte de lo que hago es para honrar a mi familia y a los que vinieron antes que yo.   En mi posición en el Departamento de Policía de Annapolis, he pasado los últimos 15 años trabajando en la comunidad con nuestras familias y escuelas. En la oficina proporciono servicios de interpretación y otros servicios para las investigaciones policiales. En nuestras escuelas, participo como voluntario con los estudiantes uniéndome a los grupos de almuerzo, sirviendo de mentor a los estudiantes y apoyando a los menores no acompañados. A lo largo de los años he trabajado con los facilitadores bilingües de AACPS en el programa Joven Noble para dirigir grupos de mentores para estudiantes.   Estudiantes: ustedes son perfectos tal como son, y van a estar bien. Sean dignos de un sueño, y hagan que su propósito sea trazar un camino para hacer realidad su sueño.
