| Summary |
As a little girl, Maria Cardenas was a migrant worker, moving with her family from one filthy camp to another. When she was able to attend middle school, she sat frightened and silent in the back of the classroom. At 17, Maria was a mother -- abused, alone, and barely able to read. Today Maria is an award-winning elementary school teacher. Every day, her students learn from her that they, too, can succeed when the world might say success is impossible. - Publisher website. |

De niña, ya María Cárdenas era una trabajadora migrante que se movía junto con su familia de un campo sucio a otro. Ya en edad de asistir a la escuela, se sentaba en silencio en la última fila en el salón de clases. Maltratada, sola y apenas sabiendo leer, a los 17 años, se convirtió en mamá. Hoy María es una galardonada maestra de primaria. Cada día sus alumnos aprenden de ella que también pueden tiunfar en la vida aunque el mundo les diga que lograr el éxito sea imposible. |
