About

I am 26 years old, happily married, and with 2 beautiful daughters. I have a BA in Psychology and now I am trying to achieve my MA in Bilingual Education. I teach bilingual kindergarten, and I am looking forward to gain more knowledge to help my students to the best of my abilities as I was helped back when I was in a bilingual kindergarten class as a child. I am also trying to show my daughters that it is never too late to achieve your dreams and that having them is the best thing that has happened to me and not an obstacle like many people thought. All you have to do is have the courage to achieve what you propose to yourself.
