StoryCorps with an animated story that will melt your heart.
The Alvarez family came to this country in 1972, and worked hard to become successful, including going to school and, sometimes, doing without.
Watch as StoryCorps captures a moment between Blanca and daughter Connie about how those formative years still inspire Connie to be her absolute best—despite the fact that Blanca thought she wasn’t living up to all that she was “supposed to be” for her kids.
