I love to swim, to read, to see my daughter’s mind grow. My vision is to have a stable life in this country with my family but that my descendants keep their Hispanic values. Something I’d like to say about my family is that we are my daughter and I, two human beings like you or anyone else and that we have the pleasure of being Latinas, with dreams, sorrows and joys the same as you, we are just a small grain of sand for a better world.

What is most difficult about being an immigrant mother is definitely to be away from home and family. Sometimes it is also hard not to speak the language, but above it all to be able to raise my daughter so that she knows her value as a woman but without loosing our identity as Hispanic women. What I like the most about living in this country is the opportunities that exist for economic improvement, the value that the law gives women. In Mexico at 28 you are already considered “too old” to be productive.
