Profe Isis is originally from El Salvador. When she was 11 years old, her family moved to the United States. It was challenging for her to learn a new language, but it was fun at the same time. She remembers that those were the most fun classes in school. She would even go to summer school because she liked them so much.  Thanks to all her effort and the effort and help from her teachers, she finally learned English and became bilingual.  Now that she is a parent she likes to show her kids how useful and fun it is to know more than one language!  She gets super excited and thankful every time they ask her what any Spanish word means.  She volunteered in an English as a Second Language class for a few years and that gave her a sense of accomplishment, she took it as a chance to give back what she had received in those ESL classes as a student herself.  She also had the privilege of working as an interpreter at a hospital which was yet another way to help her community and feel the impact of being bilingual. 

Since she became a parent, and her kids became of school age, she has been able to volunteer in her kid’s schools.  Before COVID, she volunteered a lot at their schools. While volunteering she came to appreciate the love for learning through kid's eyes. She finds it amazing how quickly they learn!  Their love and enthusiasm for learning new things is so mind-blowing and it makes her super excited to be able to be a part of this special process of learning and growing for them! She is also grateful to be able to share how fun and exciting learning a new language can be!
