Sandra Cisneros Quotes

One of the things I like to pack, that I take with me all the time, is my Virgensita de Guadalupe. It doesn't take much room in your suitcase. If you have one that isn't so fancy, you can use it on the plane when you're scared.

As I'm walking I see the change in my mind and when I reach the Octagon I'm a different person, I'm very confident.
