My name is Patsy Rodriguez, I am going on 41 years of teaching with the Head Start Program.  I absolutely love my job.  The thing that I love the most, is the relationships that I build with the children and the families.  Every year I get to meet new families and families  that I had years ago.  It is just wonderful  I work side by side with my assistant Zaida Ramirez.  This is Zaida's first year with our program but has worked with children before.  Zaida is so kind and patient with the children.  The children and I love her. My husband is Robert Rodriguez.  I have 5 children Elizabeth, Dominic, Cory, Eric and M'kayla.  I have a total of 16 grandchildren which includes several bonus grands. I love life, I love teaching, I love my family.  Who knows how long I will be teaching but as far as right now, I am still loving it.
