My name is Esperanza born in Nicaragua raised in San Francisco. My life has been a roller coaster full of tragedy, happiness, sadness, blessings and growth. For years I have been mostly sad but in the last six or seven years my life has changed in a positive direction. I appreciate my past, love my present and I am eager for my future.

Currently I work for the Department of Homeland Security, I don't love my job but I content where I am at. My work life is not perfect but I am definitely grateful for I have been afforded. Through my work I was able to live in Argentina for one year...that was exciting.

I look forward to my future with my family, my husband, children, children's spouses and my grandchildren that fullfill my life.
