Éramos diez hermanos y teníamos quesalir a trabajar. Tenía 13 años cuando <strong>de</strong>jé la escuela.Siempre me gustó estudiar, y por eso retomé en junio<strong>de</strong> 2009”.Cuando se le pregunta si hubo alguna transformaciónen este año <strong>de</strong> estudio, respon<strong>de</strong>: “He notadocambios en lo personal en este tiempo, me sientomás segura. Tengo 4 hijos, <strong>de</strong> 21, 17, 13 y 3. Se pusieronre contentos cuando les conté que iba a estudiar”.Mariana corre con una ventaja: trabaja sólo en la época<strong>de</strong> verano, como empleada doméstica. Su maridotiene un trabajo permanente, haciendo perforacionespara el tendido <strong>de</strong>l alumbrado público, y su hijomayor siguió sus pasos. Su primer contacto con unacomputadora para apren<strong>de</strong>r fue cuando una <strong>de</strong> sushijas recibió una <strong>de</strong>l programa Todos los Chicos en laRed. Pero en realidad, aprendió a manejarla cuandoretomó sus estudios en el CID. Ahora que se adviertemás segura se atreve a soñar. “Quiero terminar la primariay la secundaria. A<strong>de</strong>más, ya estuve averiguandocursos en la ciudad para peluquería y corte y confección,para tomarlos junto con el estudio”, relata,motivada. A<strong>de</strong>más, <strong>de</strong>s<strong>de</strong> que va a clases, igual quesus hijos, pue<strong>de</strong> compartir más cosas con los chicos.Cuando está en clase, tiene el chat encendido porsi en su casa hay alguna urgencia.

Reconoceque hay ocasiones en que se siente “aturdida”porque <strong>de</strong>be hacer “mucha tarea” y “enten<strong>de</strong>r las conhairedArgentinean lady who arrives to the Center carrying booksand goes straight to a computer located near one of the heaters thatwarm up the room. “I come to finish primary school- she tells, andtimidly smiles-. We were 10 brothers and sisters and we had to work.I was 13 when I dropped out of school. I always liked studying andthat’s why I came here in June 2009”.When asked about changes along this year of study, she answers: “I’venoticed some changes at a personal level during this time, I feel moreconfi<strong>de</strong>nt. I have 4 children who are 21, 17, 13 and 3.
