Griego will be attending Smith College in the fall. She leaves behind a husband who is in the El Paso Police Department, who will be caring for their two sons, one who is six and the other ten. Her oldest son, who will graduate this May, will be entering the Air Force. I feel the benefit of pursuing my education away from my family is two-fold. Second it enables my children to live alongside my dreams and share with me the valuable experience of education, change and, above all, life.
Children join our lives.
We don't join theirs, and we are a valuable instrument in the shaping of their lives. They learn from us that there is a big world out there just ready for discovery and with out fear. Smith is a private women s college which is known for providing excellent education. Griego credited Milbourn with encouraging her. I also give thanks to Angel Almeida who set aside catalogs for me that pertained to women of age and color.
