My name is Daniela Flores and I graduated from LVA in 2019 as a mariachi major. I served as the section leader for Mariachi Internacional for the last two years I was there.

 

I am 22 years old and currently in my last semester as a student teacher. I am currently taking charge of a first grade class on my own, or as we call it here, my official "takeover". I graduate in the fall of this year (December 2023) as an Elementary Education major. I am looking forward to obtaining my masters in Special Education in the spring of 2024. I have always been someone who enjoys learning and educating others with the knowledge (or little knowledge) that I have. My passion is with the little kids, and I am truly happy to soon be working in my own classroom This is where my heart is and I am so excited! 

 

LVA has truly helped in getting me this far because I can truly say that without some of the teachers here, I wouldn't be here (especially Mr. Rivera). They helped me in the times where I felt like no one could help me and in the rough patch in my life. LVA has prepared me into becoming a professional alongside my brother, Arnie. Thank you Mr. Rivera, thank you LVA.
