  • Esperanza and her mom lived well on her fathers

    destruction of the ranch resulted in a new life
    as ordinary workers on a farm in California.

4
Humility
  • As a child on her fathers ranch, Esperanza was
    treated special. She had all the finer things for
    her comfort. After her dads passing she had to
    adjust her mannerisms even to keep her friends.

Responsibility
  • Working, saving, caring for mama and grandma
    Abuelita were some of the responsibilities
    assumed by Esperanza in her new life.

    on the farm for menial wages represented much
    hardship. Living arrangement became very basic in
    wooden cabins.

    confronted with individual and collective
    challenges. They resorted to actions that ensured
    their survival.
