Her parents came to the United States from Mexico, without knowing how to speak English and had to adapt to the new country on their own. This makes Estrella’s biggest role models her mom and dad because of the sacrifices they had to make in order to let their children have a bright future. This also motivates her to try her best to be able to make her parents proud.
