Luz Rodriguez is one of the many heroes in our community. I had a chance to interview her, and I really got to know her. She is Puerto Rican, has light skin; she is also funny and very down to earth. She is also a very friendly and confident individual. Luz is caring and has a big heart for people who are less fortunate. She is very smart, energetic, and she loves to meet new people. Luz also enjoys taking walks around this community and talking about how it has changed in positive ways.
Luz is interested in helping families around the community and seeing parents getting kids off the streets and putting them back on the right path. She is also likes being a hero and talking about her hero which is the Lord above. When my group and I interviewed Luz we had asked her how long she has been working in the community and she told us that it has been thirteen years since she started. Thirteen years is quite a long time in this community. Thirteen years of help and support. Thirteen years of incredibility.
Luz is an amazing woman for doing what she is doing and giving back to the community. Luz loves the work she does. She not only believes, but she knows that the community sees how important her work is. In the interview, Luz stated, “I would love to see more parents involved in their child’s school and I would also like to see more leadership in the community.”
Luz feels that it is necessary for parents to be involved in schools so that they can be a bigger and stronger part of their child’s learning and growth. Luz also said that she doesn’t live around here but she sees that this is a good community. She states, “The people make the community so if the people get together they can make a good community.” Then she goes on to say, “This is a good school too. No matter what school you’re in, you’re going to learn because you’re going to make a difference in the community.” Then Luz continues to say, “My community started with me. I had to make a difference so that people could see a different person in me.” From these words I have learned that Luz is a courageous and encouraging person. Luz is a very dedicated woman and for that I just want her to know that her work, and much more herself, are highly appreciated in, not only Kelvyn Park High School, but in the community as well.
