yeah its about a girl who has a Mexican background but she and her mother moved to America. They have problems.... the mother can't speak in english, she gets this job as this house caretaker of this chef. she eventually learns english and later her daughter gets this really good scholarship but her mother turns it down and stuff.... and the whole movie is like narrated as this letter the girl was uandishi to the school she got a scholarship to, explaining why she can't come and stuff. in the end, the girl realizes that she wants to be known as nothing zaidi than her mother's daughter. it's a pretty good movie... i'd give it 2 stars out of 5 though.
