For Elisa it was always a life of survival and endurance. Amazingly, she made the best of every challenge. She traveled in the back of a truck from Texas to Michigan with her family to work as a migrant worker from the age of nine to twenty. Elisa responded to little more than primitive instincts for survival when her own mother could not love her. A life of abuse, challenges, battles, betrayal, and lots of hard work led her to her hunger for continual success. Her misfortune became her motivator, and not her excuse. She never forgot the many days of hunger or the day her one meal was a cold corn tortilla spread with a little tomato sauce. Her many successes are attributed to her confidence; persistence, work ethics, and her beliefs. She was greatly encouraged by her overflowing hope and dreams. Nothing in Life came easy for her. Life was tough, but she was tougher. Her difficulties, pain, and struggles were not accidental mistakes, instead she believes, they were hand-tailored blessings designed for her benefit and were never meant to be her curse. Elisa lives her unique and amazing story through faith and being herself, a magnificent life indeed!
