Norma Cavazos appreciates living in a community that preserves and celebrates cultural its rich cultural heritage.
I live in a community that embraces the culture and traditions of my upbringing and embraces me as if I had been born and raised here. The Kingsborough Ridge neighborhood, part of Harlandale Independent School District on San Antonio’s South Side, is where my family and I have made our home for almost 24 years.Success! You're on the list.
Born and raised in the Rio Grande Valley, I remember traveling to San Antonio for our annual family summer vacation. I got to know the city and grew comfortable navigating it. Then I moved here to pursue a college education in 1992 and never left. The community I proudly call home is rich in culture, delectable cuisine and deep-rooted traditions.
Here on the South Side, preserving and celebrating our cultural wealth and recognizing the importance of imparting cultural awareness matters to the people who live here. Through specialized programs, such as bilingual education and culturally relevant curricula, HISD cultivates an environment that values each student’s heritage, fostering a sense of pride and identity.
We love that we live in a community where late-night snacks are the norm. My family and I venture out, more times than we want to admit, to locally owned restaurants, food trucks and markets.roasted corn food truck, owned by a neighbor and HISD alumnus, has become one of my family’s favorites. Imallears serves our community Friday-Sunday from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. in the parking lot of Pep Boys on Military Road. My daughter and I stop by almost every other weekend to pick up a tasty late-night snack.
