Helen Garamond
Former teacher
We used to have meetings in the morning, and then I would go out and walk the streets in the neighborhood to keep them safe. If I saw someone who was causing trouble, I'd go talk to them. I didn't have to use my gun too often.
mujer 2
Mary Ramon
Former reporter
I used to type letters and reports for my boss and do the filing in the office. I would schedule meetings if we needed them. I would also answer the phone and greet people in the reception area. Sometimes the office got pretty busy.

I used to plant the seeds in the spring and harvest during the summer. I would work from early in the morning until late at night during certain seasons. It was hard work, but I liked it.
