According to a Facebook post by Humans of New York, Esther's kids were able to make her proud by excelling in their studies and winning numerous awards.

How it all began

Speaking with Humans of New York, Esther said she stopped going to school after sixth grade, adding that she moved to Mexico City afterwards and started working as a housekeeper for a rich family.
During this time, one thing was dear to Esther's heart: going to school. But she didn't have the opportunity that other kids had.
In her words:
"They had a daughter who was the same age as me. And I felt so envious of her. She had her own bedroom. She had so many nice things. She went to the concerts of famous singers. But most importantly, she was going to school."

Her journey to the United States

At 15, Esther migrated from Mexico to the United States and started working in the home of a young couple which she said was close to a high school.

According to her, she was always hurt seeing teenagers going to school, something she wasn't able to enjoy.

She vows to send her own kids to school

Esther said when her daughters were born, she promised to send them to school so they could enjoy what she couldn't.
In her words:
"When my daughters were born, I said: ‘They’re going to college, no matter what.’ I started reading little books to them every night."My English wasn’t good, but I knew they wouldn’t judge me. But after third grade it became very hard for me to help them. Especially in math. But I kept pushing them. I told them my story. How I’d been all alone in life. How I never had this opportunity—to go to school."
She let her daughters know that their success is hers as well and this made the kids excel in their studies and made their mother proud by excelling in their studies and bagging many awards.
