What does it mean to you to be Latina?
Being Latina means to me that I encompass pride for my family, and myself, love of culture, and a desire to see my people achieve. One of the main reasons that I love teaching in El Paso, where 99% of my students are Mexican and Mexican-American, is that I can instill in them the love for their heritage and the desire to fulfill their dreams.
