Latinx students want to go into education because their teachers inspired them to do so and told them they are so awesome and need to bring their awesomeness to the table. Then they would be supported through the process from college access, tuition, mentorship. Finally, upon graduation from college/university they would feel supported in finding a job and then having mentorship while teaching. - I want to help create support systems for teachers coming into the profession as well as encouraging students to become teachers. Teachers would be respected and paid accordingly.
