This is my grandmother. Her name is Laura. She is a mother and a teacher.
Born before the Second World War, she lived a hard life in the province. She was subjected to gender stereotypes that prevented her from finishing elementary, and only became a fifth grader at eighteen years old.
A single post is definitely not enough to tell her stories and those of her students. There are a lot - funny, heartbreaking and inspiring.
She made education her vocation and some family members follow her footsteps. Because of her, I dream of becoming and educator, or at least contribute to education in some way.
