Dina Esther Velázquez Cortéz  

Teaching

Dina was born on February 6, 2004; She is 16 years old. She lives in the community of Ostional approximately 25 kilometers from the center of the municipality of San Juan del Sur. Dina lives with her parents and a brother. Her dad is a pastor of an evangelical church, and her mother is a homemaker. The family moved from Chinandega in 2011, they do not have any other family members in Ostional. The income from the church is not enough for the family's needs, and without help, Dina cannot fulfill her dream of going to college.

She is going to graduate high school this year, and has obtained in her last years a 90% academic average at the Francisca Hernández Institute in Ostional. Her favorite classes are physics, chemistry, and natural science. One of her teachers was very enthusiastic about her profession, and the experience of being in this teacher's classroom motivated Dina to choose teaching for her career. Dino wants to study at the Escuela Normal-Jinotepe. A friend of the family lives in Jinotepe; Dina can rent a room in the house.

Dina has participated in social service in her community, including cleaning up the beach. With her church she is always helping people with problems. This experience has given her the ability to see that there are many unemployed people in Ostional, and there are many elderly people who need help. Dina would like to help find a way to provide work for the community, and one of her ideas is a shrimp farm.
​
She is a punctual, helpful, and kind young woman. In her free time she likes to go to the sea. Dina is committed to her goal of being a teacher and will overcome whatever obstacles it takes to achieve it.
