HOUSTON, JAN. 22. Indian-American Pushpa Maheshri, a second language educator, has won the Texas ESL Teacher of the Year award for 2004 in the United States. As a state winner of the ESL (English as Second Language) teacher of the year award, she advanced as a nominee to the National Association for Bilingual Education competition. Winning this honour was not an easy ride for.She came to the United States 31 years back, from a small village of Akola in Maharashtra. She started teaching 15 years ago, initially as a volunteer as she was not a certified teacher. The voluntary work with the education system got her interested in teaching, but getting certified was a struggle because of the ``way the certification system works here,'' she said. — PTI
