I come from a very large Hispanic family who struggled to make ends meet. I love my culture and the beauty of my state more than I can say. Our state is indeed the "Land of Enchantment." I work at a high school in a poverty stricken area in Albuquerque. They have many challenges and I so enjoy working with them. They are an inspiration. I have three children of my own and 12 lovely grandchildren. I enjoy reading, writing, creating photography and spending time with my grandkids.
