A women that always works and try to do her best for all the family.
by Fabiana Cruz
I want to talk about Mercedes because she is a great example to follow, her life as a very complicated little faith. She came from a low-income family where they always had her, her brothers and sisters to work, since there were many and not only could they live with what her father earned, so she never went to school because her father did not let them. They also could not afford those expenses, but she always says that this has been very helpful because it made her able to fight and strive to have her own things independently, and she has always taught me to fight for everything I want.
The other thing is that she had to marry at a young age, because if she had a boyfriend it´s almost required to marry so in that part it was a little difficult too.
About her work, she told me that she started her day at 4 a.m., she made her food to go to work and came to home like at 4 or 5 p.m. She always said that she loved to work, she don´t like to stay home, prefers to make many things because for her it is too streesfull to not make anything. She have almost 12 years working in a farm but she works in many parts.
Mercedes is my grandmother. She has 69 years old, she live in Copey de Dota, but her life started in Pérez Zeledón. She is a great person, she has always taken care of me since that I was practically born and that makes me very proud because despite the years, she is always there for me, giving me advice, helping me, and taking care of me. She is like my second mother. I have learned about work from her.
