About the Author
Dedication
This book is dedicated to the man who pushed me to become the educator I am today, my father, Hugo Bojorquez.
I also dedicate this book to my children; may they see how hard I try to make them proud. And to all those educators who are not appreciated but so needed.
Acknowledgements
Interestingly, the reason I became a teacher was because I became a caregiver at a young age. I guess I have my mother and my culture to thank for that. I have been an educator for 23 years and at times I have regretted not going to law school, but my work and my life have always been interesting because I am a teacher. So, I thank my mother and father for guiding me to become one.
I also want to acknowledge my former principals, Veronika Lopez-Mendez and Irazema Valdiviezo. The former pushed me to come out of my shell and present at teaching conferences, the latter has always been my best support throughout my teaching career. I am truly grateful to them both.
During this writing project, every one of my friends has been an amazing support. They have always given me an endless outpour of love, praise, and approval. I am in awe of the blessing they bring to my life.
I would also like to thank Ariela Wilcox, the Literary Agent who oversaw the writing of this book. She was hard on me and us Sagittarians need that push sometimes.
Foreword
My name is Irazema L. Valdivieso and my trajectory in the field of education began as a Bilingual Education elementary school teacher. My specialization was teaching reading in English and Spanish for over a decade. After pursuing a Masters in Bilingual Cross-Cultural Education, I became an elementary school Resource Teacher/(PAL), a Parent Academic Liaison, realizing the vital goal of educating parents about their children’s education. Thereafter, I completed my Administrative Services Credential, and became an administrator in the San Diego Unified School District, where my passion for bilingual education led me to The Language Academy, a bilingual school where children attend one of the dual language immersion programs in Spanish or French.
It was here that I had the pleasure of meeting Linda Bojorquez, first in a professional relationship as her school administrator, where she taught 2ndgrade & where our relationship grew from a mere acquaintance to a friendship. We forged a strong partnership in
