Birth
Born in Mcallen Texas a predominately hispanic area, the location is which I am born in help shape my ideology. We lived in a rural part of town where the nearest Walmart was 45 minutes away.

Started High School
I moved to a different district because my mom became a principal at a middle school at the same district. I was faced with making a new life. during my first year at my new high school I was timid and shy, it wasn't till my second year where I grew out of my comfort shell. This yearlong experience taught how to face adversity. I am now able to adapt to new situations, and make myself known within reason. -

Started my Undergraduate Education
My first year in college was spent in a school I did not want to attend, when it turned out I did not have enough funds to attend a school away from home, my only other option was a community college at home. The stigma of Community Colleges weighing less than a University made me feel as though I was not on the track. I somehow ended up failing when I just started. Looking back at it now, I am grateful for my time at STC, it taught me humility. -
Amazon!
Working for Amazon was a big step in my career. In a point where I already had two jobs to help pay for school I took on the task as a remote marketing manager.

Big Boy JOB!
I got a job as a teacher. Fast forward after all the intense teacher trainings, my second day of working with students was starting to feel grim. The feeling of not being able to take on a new role and be successful right away was confusing me. I had never been in a position, where I felt incompetent. By the third day I felt I had made the wrong choice. I had to learn how to have patience with myself. This point in my life I grew as an employee but as-well as simply.. a person. -
Graduate School
Into my second year of teaching I decided I wanted to further my education to better service the students I teach. If applying I was hesitant, but I always tell my students you can achieve anything you have the desire for. This was a practice what you preach moment for me. I took the chance and submitted my application two weeks before classes started! -
