A hallmark of the Latino community is to help one another if students are interested in a way to give back and help their communities becoming a teacher is probably one of the very best ways of doing that.

It's really sad for me that in the United States the Latino community is losing its culture and language especially among kids born here - a lot of them can't even speak our language.

The common denominator all Latinos have is that we want some respect. That's what we're all fighting for.

Head Start's ability to improve the educational skills and opportunities of Latino children will be an important component of America's future success.

Latinos have fought in all of America's wars beginning with the Revolutionary War. Many Latinos are fighting and dying for our country today in Iraq just as several of their ancestors fought for freedom in Mexico over a century ago.

Immigration is not the top issue for Latinos. Latinos are like every other American - economy jobs healthcare education.

Latinos care about education yes so we need reform not just money.

I am a firm believer in education and have worked very hard to tell young Latinos that they must go to college and that if possible they should pursue an advanced degree. I am convinced that education is the great equalizer.
