Loxa's family has lived for generations in the highlands of Chiapas, Mexico. This beautiful region is also the poorest in Mexico, and Loxa has big dreams to overcome her circumstances and become the first woman in her family to graduate from high school.

When Loxa isn't spending time with her family, helping around the home, and tending to her flock of 12 sheep, Loxa spends her time learning. She loves going to school, partly because she loves learning new things, but also partly because she has watched her parents struggle from a lack of education.

Loxa's mother had to drop out of school in the third grade, and Loxa sees how hard her parents have to work to overcome hardships to provide for their family, many of which she understands are caused by a lack of education.

While Loxa isn't entirely certain what career she wants to pursue after graduation, she knows that she wants to continue learning and aspires to help others in her community. Loxa's dreams are turning into realities because Escalera is making it possible for Loxa to attend high school through their REACH program.
