“When I was little, I attended the Head Start program, where I studied and built the foundation that helped me be successful in life. When I was 10 years old, my brother was born, and he also attended Head Start. Then I had my daughter, and she attended Head Start as well. As a mother, I became involved in the program, volunteering in the classroom and contributing my knowledge in education. Now, I worked with Head Start for the last six years of my life as a Family Engagement Worker, and it has been one of the best experiences I've had because I can understand my families from various perspectives and see the impact the program has had on my life and the lives of others. Today, I help my families, just as I once received help when I was a young mother seeking to improve myself and help my family do the same.” - Zeny, Staff Member, Previous Parent and Student, and Luna Bella, Previous Head Start Student
