Reaction to Esmeralda Santiago's Biography.

Esmeralda Santiago is a writer from Puerto Rico. She went from a rural ambiance that suffered poverty to New York City where the ambiance is drastically different. Her life in the city was difficult because of the clashes in culture, languages, and identities. Esmeralda battled against these differences and struggled to get into the University of Harvard. In my opinion this experience is not easy. I admired the way that she struggled and managed herself in the situation. Esmeralda Santiago is an example of improving one's environment to improve one's life.
