From Loyd Brumfield’s article on The Dallas Morning News website:

When Oliver Aguilar’s daughter told him she wanted to work on cars, it “kind of broke my heart,” he said.

“She could probably write her own ticket in college with soccer.”

Instead, 18-year-old Brianna Aguilar wanted to see what’s under the hood.

So she does, as one of about a dozen female students who who take automotive technology courses at Duncanville High School.

“There are women [in the automotive industry], but they mostly work in the front office,” Brianna Aguilar said. “I want to be in the back and work on engines.”
