My name is Maria Villegas, I am currently in my second block. I would like to teach Early Childhood because I like children and I believe that at that level a teacher has a lot to give and teach. I am married and I have three wonderful children. My older son is going to graduate from UTPA this summer in business, my daughter is going to graduate from Chaminade University this May on forensic science and my younger son is attending UTPA; this is his second semester and he is studying business too. I don't have hobbies but once in a while I like to listen to music. ===== 

My name is Veronica Giles, and like the other group memebers, I am in my second education block. When I graduate I am now undecided on which grade level I would like to teach. At this point in time, teaching anything that comes my way would be great. I consider myself to be very lucky with great friends and a beautiful family. I am happily married and have three step sons and one of my own. My youngest son is in first grade and keeps me on my toes. I currently work with Mcallen I.S.D. as a pre-kindergarden paraprofessional, and absolutely love my job.I can't wait to finally have a clasroom all of my own!

My name is Esmeralda Barsenas, and I am studying to be a bilingual teacher. I want to be an effective bilingual teacher because I believe that teachers have an immense impact on a child’s life and being able to educate our tomorrow’s leaders in both languages will fulfill better their educational needs to succeed in our society. I am currently working as a kindergarten paraprofessional and I love working with that age of students because they are like sponges absorbing everything and eager to learn and having fun while learning. I also have three children of my own and a very supporting husband. My goal is to get my bachelors degree in bilingual education and teach our future generations to be productive learners
