00:00:00.305 --> 00:00:04.222
(uplifting instrumental music)

2
00:00:07.400 --> 00:00:09.970
<v Narrator>I live in a small apartment</v>

3
00:00:09.970 --> 00:00:11.460
with my son Derek,

4
00:00:11.460 --> 00:00:13.380
and it's just me and him.

5
00:00:14.660 --> 00:00:16.110
As a single mother,

6
00:00:16.110 --> 00:00:21.110
my first job is care about everything that I doing for him.

7
00:00:23.034 --> 00:00:25.328
I decide to move from Puerto Rico,

8
00:00:25.328 --> 00:00:29.676
and I look for a place where I needed to find my future.

9
00:00:29.676 --> 00:00:32.490
I want more because he needs more.

10
00:00:34.500 --> 00:00:38.490
When I moved to Philadelphia and in this apartment,

11
00:00:38.490 --> 00:00:41.970
after six months, we need to connect with the world.

12
00:00:41.970 --> 00:00:43.550
I said, "We need Internet Essentials.

13
00:00:43.550 --> 00:00:45.860
"There's no excuses to not get connected."

14
00:00:51.327 --> 00:00:54.090
In the city, I find opportunity to teach Spanish.

15
00:00:54.090 --> 00:00:56.900
Thinking to do my Master's in Education in Spanish.

16
00:00:57.970 --> 00:00:59.430
I no have time as a single mother.

17
00:00:59.430 --> 00:01:02.740
How can I go to the college with a boy at home?

18
00:01:02.740 --> 00:01:04.350
So I have to use the internet.

19
00:01:04.350 --> 00:01:06.450
And I'm planning to do my Master's online.

20
00:01:07.596 --> 00:01:08.830
(speaks Spanish to son)

21
00:01:08.830 --> 00:01:12.070
I use internet to keep him in a language,

22
00:01:12.070 --> 00:01:13.860
To keep in contact with family.

23
00:01:13.860 --> 00:01:17.220
And, you know, he has to know where he come from.

24
00:01:17.220 --> 00:01:21.651
Our traditions, we learn music from my country,

25
00:01:21.651 --> 00:01:24.090
we learning dance from my country,

26
00:01:24.090 --> 00:01:26.030
because that's the way to get connected

27
00:01:26.030 --> 00:01:27.280
with my family tradition.

28
00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:33.310
We are developed together and growing up together.

29
00:01:33.310 --> 00:01:37.670
It's grateful for me feel I raise my son in a good way.

00:01:38.735 --> 00:01:41.485
