Cruz was not able to go to school because her parents were not able to support her. She is married, and her husband works the land. They have 12 children, and they live separately.
Cruz has always devoted herself to the household chores. She learned this from her mother. She also helps her husband with the agricultural work whether it be fertilizing or transporting the harvests to their house. She always gets up early to prepare breakfast. Then she does the household chores. Finally, she helps her husband with the land.
She needs the loan to pay the rent on the land she cultivates with her husband and to pay for labor.
She dreams of repairing her house because it is in bad condition. She hopes to save the earnings to buy some materials and fulfill her dream.
