"Standing less than 5 feet tall, she commands her chemistry class of 30 middle school students to listen and study. Amidst the shady neighbor and bad influences of South Central Los Angeles, she somehow manages to motivate her students at Thomas A. Edison Middle School to actually work hard. She was chosen as one of the few selected educators of the "Teach For America" Program in 2005. Her dedication and commitment in the field of education for the past few years has changed the lives of many students who have had the pleasure of being in her class. As her best friend, win or lose, Miss Bagorio truly deserves the recognition and prestige for her work."
