Congratulations to
Life-Changing Teaching Award Nominee
MINO CARABALLO MUNIZ
BOOKER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
STUDENT RECOGNITION STORY
Mr. Caraballo is truly an amazing teacher, and I am so grateful for the positive impact he has had on my son, Angel. As a single mom, it means so much to see a teacher who is patient, consistent, and genuinely cares for his students.
Since first grade, Angel has been an honor roll student, and having Mr. Caraballo again as his second-grade teacher has been both a privilege and an important part of his educational journey. Because of him, Angel has developed a real love for school and looks forward to going to class each day.
Mr. Caraballo creates a safe, supportive, and encouraging classroom where Angel feels comfortable, valued, and motivated to learn. Even on difficult days when Angel experiences emotional struggles or meltdowns, he remains patient and stays by his side, offering calm support and encouragement. His kindness and dedication help Angel refocus and feel understood.
Over time, Mr. Caraballo’s support has had a meaningful impact on Angel’s academic and personal growth. He has helped him continue succeeding as an honor roll student, grow in confidence, improve his social interactions, and believe in himself both as a student and as a person.
We are truly thankful for everything he does and for the lasting difference he is making in Angel’s life.
