Amarillo College Ranger

Martin Garcia: When general studies major Martin Garcia is not on campus or studying, you can find him with his car club, Down to Clown. "I´ve been in the club about four months, and I have an ´87 Buick and an ´86 Regal," he said. Every Sunday, members show off their cars down Amarillo Boulevard. Garcia also spends free time playing basketball, boxing and rapping, and he can be found at Graham Central Station "sporting" the brand name FUBU. Garcia is 17, and this is his first year at AC. So far, he seems to enjoy it. "I like AC," he said. "It´s pretty cool." Gale Brewer is Garcia´s basic mathematics instructor. "She´s real cool", Garcia said. "She gives us more than enough time to do our work. She´s just nice, fun and helpful."

Gale Brewer: Developmental math instructor Gale Brewer has been full-time on campus for five years. Brewer has been married for 22 years and is the mother of three children. She started out part-time when her small children still were at home. Ten years later, Brewer jumped in to full-time as her family got older. "I love my job," she said. When not teaching, Brewer spends a lot of her free time at volleyball tournaments with her daughter. Traveling is also a favorite of Brewer´s, who loves to relax in Coronado, Calif. Martin Garcia is in her class. "When he comes to class he always has a smile on his face and a great attitude," Brewer said.
