While doing my undergraduate studies in Psychology I got the opportunity to meet many great professors that helped me to become the graduate student I am today. During my first year in The University of Puerto Rico I took an advanced literature course with a brilliant professor that could analyze any story in a manner that was not only understandable but also interesting.

I ended up taking three more courses with her that led to the development of a great friendship that I cherish to this day.

Although I no longer teach, I view my departure from the classroom in a similar vein to Richard Wright’s explanation for leaving the South; ‘I am not leaving the classroom so as to forget the classroom, but that someday I might understand it.’ In my experience, I encountered many bright students who entered high school with bright futures; many did relatively well while others with similar abilities dropped out or barely graduated high school. My purpose for returning to graduate school was to better understand the inequities faced by

I found the feeling I get after solving a complex
