With her high marks and bilingual fluency, there are many opportunities at the state-funded universities - IN MEXICO!!!!
Exactly -- she could move right into the upper class in Mexico and they have a system that pays for the education of anyone who has graduated from secundaria in many of their government universities. And the education in many universities in Mexico is good.
There is no reason for her to claim martyr status. Mexico needs it's educated people and she should be very grateful she got something here that is denied most people in Mexico.
