  The late Mrs. Esperanza Gonzales, like many of her generation, was a strong leader with a si se puede (can-do) and you can too attitude.
   Elementary teacher Gonzales in 1971 organized a school-based effort to raise student and parental pride in their educational foundation and community.
   She wanted to change the letter N (for El Rito Normal School) to a letter E to represent the El Rito Elementary School. The latter was the only school remaining.
   The letter E remains symbolic of both institutions and the community to this day. However, it fell into fading disrepair. Liability concerns stopped the childrenâs and Gonzalesâ forays to its annual painting fundraisers.

I was raised in Servilleta, a small mountain community in Northern New Mexico. I graduated from Mesa Vista High School in 2010. After being in the workforce, I returned to school and am pursuing an associate degree in liberal arts at the University of New Mexico’s branch campus in Los Alamos. I currently live on the outskirts of Española with my wife, Sarah, and our 9-month-old daughter, Arielle.
My whole life I dreamed of pursuing a college education and becoming the first person in my family to attain a degree. Becoming a first-time father made me want this even more. Like most New Mexicans, I dream of providing my daughter with a future where she will have every opportunity to be successful and happy. Even though she doesn’t know it yet, I know that a degree will help me accomplish this for myself while opening more doors for her.
