My WISH TO MY STUDENTS-

• This is my wish to you ALLA-

In this life journey “being a woman” is defined by only you. Embrace all the aspects of your gender, mind and body. Understand that others might not follow your lead all the time but remember that you can and should lead your own life every day.

• This is my wish to you MICHAELA-

Every conversation, every decision of your day is seen through the eyes of gender.
I hope this class gave you strength, empowerment and resolution to be you and only you. Continue living life to the fullest and experimenting with motherhood. Enjoy all life can bring to you and the choices you have as an intelligent, capable and strong woman.


• This is my wish to you WANDA-

Although I know you are strong I also know you are living in two worlds every day. I hope your strength moves other Latinas to understand the beauty of loving self before loving another person. I trust this class gave you a glimpse of many other alternatives and possibilities. Use your intellect, strength and conviction in everything you do.

• This is my wish to you NICOLE-

I think your sense of pride and bravery is outstanding. Every day is a different challenge in a gender busting society. Keep your ground and stay strong. I hope you continue your journey knowing that being a woman is a complex and exciting proposition.


• This is my wish to you MIKE-

In this world of oppression and solitude your presence in class brought a ray of hope for the rest of men out there. I hope the readings and the discussion made you more aware of how complicated and beautiful is to be a woman. My wish for you is to live by example as a feminist.

• This is my wish to you DEANDRA-

I hope you explore life to its fullest potential. Discover other stories and realities in our society. All the experiences you started in this class can continue out of the classroom. Enjoy being a young, strong and intelligent women, who can think and decide by herself.
