Words that made Ms. Velasco and Mrs. Martinez so happy: I wish I could work here! Amiyah went on to tell them she has already been picked to be a teacher and that she already teaches her little sister. Ms. Velasco was able to share the good news that Amiyah can be a teacher and a librarian, like her! What a sweet moment to start the day!
