Serbian immigrant turned PE teacher named Oregon's best in elementary
After earning his teaching license in the U.S., Ratko Pavlovic told his wife he wasn't sure if he could teach, worrying about his English skills. While the two were in the car, his wife assured him his teaching skills and the representation he could offer as an immigrant are both needed in schools. "She talked to me about how, for many kids, maybe English is not their first language, and how many different cultures we have (in the U.S.), and it would be really great to have someone to represent," Pavlovic, 37, said. "That's the reason why I wanted to do elementary." Pavlovic was born in Yugoslavia, now modern-day Serbia.
