She wanted to do more than just be a teacher so she quit her teaching job in order to help the parents of her students fight for better working conditions. We can connect with her students by understanding that her students were very poor children and seeing this, Dolores Huerta preferred to help them improve their living conditions by helping their parents obtain more rights than continue being a teacher. She was moved by her students and devoted to this cause.
