EDUCATION
“Education is a core value in my family. My generation is the first in my family to go to college. Three of my sisters are public school teachers with more than 99 years of teaching experience; and I have taught for more than 20 years at Metropolitan Community College. Through my experience, I have come to greatly respect the commitment and role teachers play in our lives; we entrust them with our children’s education, safety and our own future.”
“The purpose of education is not just to prepare us for work, but to enrich our lives, and to give us the tools we need to govern ourselves in a participatory democracy.”
