Torres says she hopes to motivate her younger sisters to go beyond where she has — but they aren’t the only family members who have been influenced by her.
“My mom went back to school when I went to college,” Torres says. “Her English isn’t that great, and she’s getting her associate degree with four kids and a full-time job. She tells me, ‘I’m going to e-mail you this paper so you can help me’ and I say, ‘Mom, you can do it yourself. College isn’t that hard.’”
