Meet Martinez Scholar Victor Hugo Cantero
Can you tell us about your previous educational experience and/or previous professional experience? When I got to high school I had nobody to help me with my homework or push me to take advanced classes. However, I decided to challenge myself and in the end succeeded; this taught me to be independent and to find alternative solutions to any problem I might encounter. Why did you choose the College of Education? What inspires me most is change; the change that I have experienced in my own life has affected the life of my family as well as future generations. My goals are not just for myself, but also for my family. Why do you want to become a teacher? What are you most excited to accomplish as a future teacher? To change the lives of children; to nurture their minds and provide them with knowledge that will open doors to better lives. In particular, I want to educate the Hispanic community about issues such as sexual education, health and the importance of being successful in school, as well as guide Hispanic students through their school careers.
