At the age of 15, she traded a quinceañera party for summer school in the United States, thus beginning her life as a bilingual person.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.colorincolorado.org/read/meet/ada/transcript/ )〕 After completing high school in Cuba, she earned a scholarship to attend Loretto Heights College.
