STEPHENVILLE Krisol Villa Flores is driven.
She wanted to be a teacher so badly, she daily commuted an hour each way to Tarleton State University’s Waco campus to take classes.
A native of Chihuahua, Mexico, Krisol came to the United States eight years ago, not knowing English but having a determination to succeed.
And succeed she has.
She will take the stage Saturday morning at Tarleton’s Memorial Stadium to deliver the commencement address to graduates from the College of Education and the College of Science and Technology.
Seeing her little girl at a distinct educational disadvantage gave Krisol that initial push to serve in the classroom.
