I became a teacher because I struggled to learn English. The teachers in my school were not culturally aware, did not speak Spanish, and did not look like me. When I got to high school, I was part of an organization that pushed students to attend college. Seeing how the program directors encouraged and convinced families that higher education was needed, motivated me to help others achieve their goals. I knew that by being a teacher, I could impact many families.

Why I became a teacher?
Last updated on July 2, 2022
Hello I am Leticia Cortez, I graduated from the University of Houston-Downtown in Urban Education EC- 6 grade with a bilingual certification. I am currently a bilingual teacher in 4th grade at Aldine ISD in Houston, Texas. Things have definitely changed since I was a student 20 years ago. The way I learned is not the same way students are currently learning and in order to change that I have decided to pursue a degree in Applied Digital Learning at Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas.
