Independencia salvadoreña

"I work 44 hours a week (from Monday to Saturday). I go to the university from Monday to Friday every night up to 8.30pm. I don't get vacations as often as we used to when we were at school. I pay for all the clothes I want, for everytime I go out, for every single thing I decide to do. I bought new stuff for myself (bed, tv...) for when I move out of my house. I paid for my lasik eye surgery ($1130).

I have a good job (I got promoted three times already in the two years I've worked for my company). I get good grades (I know so many people that don't do anything but going to study and they flunk) And you know what? That gives me more satisfaction than if someone paid for all the things I want. It makes me take care of them more. I know where I'm headed to. I have time to go out with my friends (and with my boyfriend when he was still in El Salvador). It is possible to work hard and still have time to rest and to have fun. It just takes an open mind, will and little effort."

Porque tenemos gente como ésta, sé que El Salvador tiene un gran futuro.
