  Corazon

by Lola Gaspar

Bless This Family
May you hear the music of life
May you share the joys of love
And may the sun always shine in your heart

Corazon (in Spanish)

Yo Irma Gaspar me vine de Oaxaca a Tijuana hace seis años a trabajar para ayudar a mi mamá. Ella estaba enferma de cancer en el estómago. Yo Lola Gaspar me vine igual de Oaxaca hace cuatro años, tambien para trabajar para ayudar a mi mama. Desafortunanente so se pude salvar, Falleció hace tres años.

Los dos trabajamos y estudiamos. Los dos trabajamos en unos fábricos. Yo Lola trabajo doce horas, desde el siete de la noche hasta siete de la mañana y tomo clases durante del diá. Acabo de terminar la preparatoria. Hace como dos meses presenté el examen de admision en la Universidad para la carrera de medicina. Sí aprobé el examen, pero no pude entrar porque no tenia complete para la colegratara. Mi motiva por el cual me gusta o me interesa la medicina es para ayudar a los enfermos. Les agradecemos mucho su ayuda para reglarnos la casa que nunca esperemos tener tan pronto. Antes rentabamos en el cuarto que goteaba mucho cuando Novió.

Corozon (translated)

Irma Gaspar came to Oaxaca from Tijuana 6 years ago to work and help my mother. She was sick with cancer of the stomach. Lola Gaspar (that's me) also came from Oaxaca 4 years ago also to work and help my mother. Unfortunately she couldn't get well and died three years ago.

We both study and work in factories. I work 12 hours, from 7 at night to 7 in the morning and I take classes during the day. I just finished my classes for preparation and about two months ago I took the admissions exam to get into the University on the medicine track. Yes, I passed the exam but no I couldn't start because I hadn't finished the requirements. The reason medicine interests me is because I want to help the sick. We really appreciate you giving us the house since we never had hopes of getting one so soon. Before, we rented a room where it leaked a lot when it rained.

We hope that God will give you more because we have nothing to offer you. We thank all of you and God.
