Selling bread on the streets helps Esperanza to make money for education in El Salvador
The day starts at 3:30 AM for Esperanza Carolina Jimenez. She left school at the age of 15 years old because her parents did not have the resources to send her to school. So she have to work with her father in agriculture activities. Also, she have to take care of her 6 brothers and help her mother with the activities of the house. Now, she takes care of herself by selling bread.
When her uncle offers Esperanza to pay her education she have to move the the capitol San Salvador. But she still working because she wants to help her parents. She starts at 8:00 AM to sale bread and they paid her $7 per day. She gives her money to her parents each day that she visit them. “I help my parents because I know the needs that they have” she comments. At 8:00 AM she starts working then she gets to school from 12:30 PM to 5:00 PM. So she is working very hard to make their parents proud of her.
Esperanza is one of the best examples for those who doesn’t appreciate what their parents are doing for them. I saw many teenagers that prefer to do drugs or others bad things instead of making proud their parents for the big sacrifice that they are doing. But they doesn’t realize that others can appreciate what they have like Esperanza. She really wants to be someone in life and help her parents and brothers.
Esperanza makes me think that when we want to achieve something it does not matter the situation if we want to do it we can make it true.
