Fort Worth brought students together with several universities and colleges on Wednesday, hoping their students will return to the classroom as teachers.
Fort Worth ISD is looking to the future to try and help with its teacher shortage.
Former Fort Worth ISD student and now-teacher Aracely Valdes had to overcome obstacles along her journey to the classroom. She took a break from her young students to share her story with some high school seniors who are considering teaching as a possible career. Valdes did not speak English when her family migrated here from El Salvador. By her senior year of high school, she became a teen mom. Despite all, she earned a degree from Texas Tech University and returned to Fort Worth with her teacher's credential.
