When someone finishes the education to be a teacher he or she has so many tools and pedagogic strategies to teach, however all those tools are not enough without having a heart! My experience here at El Hogar has made me to complete my career as a teacher. I have been here 14 years where I have had the opportunity to achieve my heart goal of my career which is to be a father, a friend and a counselor. This project has taught me that I not only teach here but I am also being used by God to transform the lives of many children. My best achievement has been to grow up and learn from the kinds how to be a human being everyday. At the end, this place has taught, formed and educated me. Heyser Valenzuela (Sixth grade)
