Bertha Rocha waitress at Jomaremi Restaurant in San Antonio Texas

Bertha Rocha is a native of Monterrey, Nuevo Leon and has been in the restaurant sector for roughly eight years. Before that she worked as a housekeeper but didn't like it. For her the idea of the American dream is represents struggle. “I've done a little bit better here in the United States than in Mexico [financially]” she told me. For her the American dream is not as promising as some people in Mexico claim it is. “One suffers a lot here too, for example I still haven't been able to buy a car.” The bottom line of her story is: The American dream is rough for some. However, Bertha laughs about it and suggests that she's going to keep trying.
