"After participating in Mi Esperanza's Beauty Class, I started working at a Beauty Salon called "Salon de Belleza Maine", at Barrio La Ronda (Downtown). My schedule is from Monday through Saturday, 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. I have worked there for three years now, and I appreciate my job; I believe Mi Esperanza opened the door to this job opportunity.
“This has not only helped me economically, but emotionally. It has built my self-esteem, by discovering I am capable of being productive and independent. ”
I am grateful to have an excellent boss that has taught me new things and has been very supportive and trusts me."
