She's confused and very surprised to see cold milk given to her at lunch at the school cafeteria. There are also these strange-looking vegetables on her tray. She's only familiar with root vegetables like yuca boniato and malanga that she had at meals in Marianao.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1); background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1)>She now finds herself attending a small midwestern school in Hinsdale Illinois where she's the only non English speaker in the class.
