My Dream

My name is Clemencia Lucero. My mother and father inspired me when I was just a girl. First of all, they taught me how to care about people. My mother had a big heart. She always took care of her children and grandchildren. My father was the same way. I can’t say anything about my grandparents because they died very young. My mother used to tell me that they were caring and thoughtful people. My family and I were very poor, but we were very happy. I have taught my own family the values of life that I was taught as a child and throughout my adulthood. Keeping my family together is my goal.

My parents did not have an education, but to me education is very important, so I am now going to school. I like Adult Education class because the class has been very helpful for me. Ever since I have been taking this class I have noticed that my writing and reading have been improving more and more. In each semester I have learned something new. The teachers are very kind and patient. This is a great idea for Cochise College to offer this class for people who can’t afford to pay, including myself. I recommend this class to other people. My goal is to continue Adult Education classes. I hope one day I can reach my goal and do something better for myself. My goal is to get my GED so I can expand my employment options.
