I Could Finally Be Myself Around My TFA Teachers
Marcos Vargas (Rio Grande Valley '16) recalls how his TFA teachers inspired him to believe in himself, and to become a role model for kids in his community.
Growing up in a very religious Hispanic town, I never fit that norm, and I confided in my TFA teachers, and I felt, for once, not out of place.
I felt like I could be myself around these teachers. They were the ear that I always was looking for. So, when, in turn, I applied, that's what I wanted to provide to my students, on top of an amazing education.
