Edgar Posada is an El Salvadoran immigrant who grew up amidst their civil war. He legally immigrated to America with his mother and two siblings when he was 15. Today, Mr. Posada is a high school teacher on Long Island, where he lives with his wife and two daughters. In the interview, Edgar shares stories about his childhood growing up during the civil war, discusses his transition to life in America, walks us through his journey in the American educational system, and closes with a discussion of the lessons he has learned through fatherhood. One notable moment in the episode is when Mr. Posada discusses the first dead body he saw during the war, and how that moment set the tone for his childhood. (Angel Corrales and Laura Greene)
