To be A Teacher ● ● ● ● ●

THE best job!

Literally touching & shaping the lives of our future.

Stick to the Agenda - not your personal agenda.

Everyday is a job interview.

Know who you are, remember where you came from, & be the person you needed when you were a student. ● Remember why you became a teacher when things become challenging & difficult, however, do not compromise your work ethic or integrity.

My work, THE work is a constant tribute to my ancestors, the fierce women who paved the way for me to be who I am, have guided me where I am, and drive where I am going.

I, Dra. Erika del Rosario Tejeda am living their wildest dreams.
