"I come from a family of hardworking immigrants who has always taught me to never quit until I have accomplished my goals! I am the first in my family to graduate and I couldn’t have accomplished it without the love and support from my parents and sisters! Since I was a little girl I have dreamed about having my own classroom and now I can proudly say in less than 2 weeks I will officially be a teacher! You can now call me Ms. Carrillo!"
