In her own words…

“We can make a difference in their [children’s] lives if we just listen to them and if we believe in them, that the obstacles they face today will only help them appreciate more fulfillness of their dreams tomorrow…We need to teach children that they are in charge of their lives and only they can make them better and only they can fight to knock down the obstacles in their way.”

In the words of others . . .

“Ms. Hernandez is an excellent teacher. . . . I have seen her change her plans immediately when a child needs her presence and help. . . .She asks good questions, tries every new idea, and generally, focuses on her students and their learning outcomes.”
 Junita V Copley, Ph.D., University of Houston Professor

“Her high energy and creativity make her classroom a fun and exciting place to learn. . . She works very hard to make sure all her students achieve more than is expected.”
