初中的Guadalupe Quintanilla经常被老师认为是“学习迟钝的人”，但是她一点不觉得自己迟钝，她只是不能理解教室里的本族语言，她的问题是不会讲英语，所以在她读完四年级后就离开了学校。
当Guadalupe长大、结婚、有了自己的孩子，她知道她的孩子是聪明的，但是孩子的一些老师不这么认为。孩子们在学校里有问题，因为他们不想让人们认为她的孩子是学习迟钝的人。所以她决定通过自学英语的方法来帮助他们。她练习英语，用英语字典查单词。她请求校长让她坐在教室里听课。这是一件不容易的事情，但是她通过了所有的考试。她说其他的许多学生帮助她。
Quintanilla夫人帮助她的孩子们辅导功课。她的两个儿子获得了成功。一个是一名教师，而另一个是一名医生。她的最小的孩子，一个女儿，正在一所大学里读书。
