In addition, as student populations change, based on cultures and backgrounds, I will be flexible and adaptive by creating student and parent engagement workshops to create awareness about, and end stigma against discussing suicide, bullying, mental health, and disability issues. Also, I hope to build partnerships with colleagues in creating a larger fund for my current scholarship for children of street vendors and help expand it Los Angeles County. As a daughter of a street vendor who had limited access to resources, as well as a first-generation Latina college graduate, I will have shown the students I serve, and my community, not only that I am a resource to them, but, more importantly that they can break down barriers themselves. Inclusively, as a James A. Garfield Alumna, I will empower youth in my community to pursue their goals, because representation in particular professions matter.
