Laura commented on Maria Hinojosa: One-on-One on 07.25.10
Hello Ms. Hinojosa Thank you for let me know about Dr. Quinones Hinojosa. I am a woman from the Andes who has a similar background, but I did not become a doctor, but a soldier, a high school/ college teacher and a world traveler. It was nice to know that there is someone who has been able to "swim" further than myself. I am still searching for the mountain top, but it is not easy for a Latina woman in this country or any other place in the world who has a mentally ill child. The best feeling of accomplishment for me it has bee to be able to teach those children who believe they cannot learn. Because I was one of those kids in the streets of my country looking for some bread crumbs at 500 AM at one of the monasteries. Thank for reading this comment. Laura Nieto.
