I would like to share my  Family story. Four hispanic ladies raised by a single mother who made sure her girls did not become statistics and repeat the cycle of a teen mother. Instead she forced that education was the most important thing to have and with faith we will become something. All of us have graduated college including my mother and my older sister earned her doctorate degree in which she did her disertation on Latinos and education. I look up to my sister and so do many Latinas out there she is a very good resource to provide all Latinos ways to get an education. My fiance also is the first out of his family to go to college and now is completing his ER residency in a place where there is 1.5% hispanic population and it has not been easy but no matter how many people see us Latinos as people who are not educated and not smart , have something to look forward to. We are hard working and determined people and I am so proud to be Latina.
