When the time comes, be ready to give that effort.” His short term goal is to finish his education and teach in his community. His long term goal is to become a Principal for a school. Mr. Guerrero said that his parents had a huge impact on his academic journey and inspired him to get his Masters degree. He said “I owe everything to them and will forever be grateful for their sacrifices.” 9
