I can say that I have been very blessed with the professors that crossed my learning path at UHCL. And after four years of my graduation I come to find out that my biggest role model in bilingual education has left the earth.
Dr. Criselda Guajardo Alvarado--a bilingual and special education advocate, diagnostician, director, professor, author--a passionate human being that taught and cared to prepare exceptional teachers.
Dr Criselda Guajardo, thank you from the bottom of my heart because even though I am not practicing my role as a teacher, I am practicing my role as a bilingual mother and your teachings and legacy will stay and prevail.
"Teaching is both a Science and an Art. You have the heart which is the Art, now you need the Science which are the tools that you will acquire."
