Enough

By Maria Morales

My journey was so long that I doubted my dream of becoming a teacher would ever come true. I never gave up and took one class at a time. I took ESL classes for two years, I went to college for two years, graduated from Bakersfield, University in 2009 and finally from Mount Saint Mary's College in 2012. During my first two years in California, I was single. I got married and my husband didn't let me attend college. My fight at home was for my freedom for an education and my freedom to decide about my life. My decision to leave my husband in Mexico was the start of my freedom. My parents in Mexico wanted a daughter surmise and respectful. I wanted my freedom and decide to get married or not. During my marriage, I suffered in silence because I was afraid that my husband was going to prison if I told the police about his physical abuse. I was afraid that my children knew about this abuse. I was afraid that my children could be taken away from me if my husband went to prison.
