Maritza loves music, her sax, her mom, and her grandpa. She cherishes her family and everyday of her life. Her self-reflection and resilience has us convinced that she will achieve her dream to be a teacher and to positively impact the lives of many. Much thanks to Marielena Planas and Sarah Gorham of JMU’s School of Media Arts and Design for producing and editing this short video, as well as to Professor Shaun Wright for his direction on this project.
