Monica explained that she's "better at adapting because she's an immigrant." Because she's an immigrant, she has the "capacity to have two languages" and is "multicultural." Monica has the ability to "see with different lenses all the different immigrants that are here" in her classroom and life. She has a better understanding of other immigrants and can "see what other people can't see because they have never lived in another country." After describing each strength Monica proudly said, "I have that." Monica says that the strengths she has as an immigrant are "valuable as a teacher" because she can support and understand her students that aren't from here.

Monica has "no regrets" about moving to the US and loves her life here.
