In Her Own Words
My name is Yalitza Martinez and I am a 24-year-old Mexican American from Houston, TX. I am a firm believer of the power of education. Education opens a plethora of different doors and brings opportunities to try new things.
I am a first-generation college grad who attended The University of Texas at Austin because I wanted to make a difference in my community. That is why I decided to be a bilingual teacher – I wanted to come back home to show the future generation that being bilingual is awesome and each of their own stories has a great value for our community. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science for Bilingual Education K-6th. I take pride of my culture and being from a border town in Tamaulipas. I take pride in my boots, my norteña accent, and the language that represents my family. I want my 1st grade students to take pride in their culture too.
