But her mother married another man later on.(Discovery) She overcame poverty as a child.(Stamatel, Janet P ) She always wanted to become a surgeon so she went to the United States to reach her dream. But it was hard for her to go to the United States because she was so close to her family and didn't want to leave them. It was also hard to leave to go to the United States because they didn't have that much money to travel that far. (Changing the face of medicine) She also had to adapt to the weather because in Puerto Rico it is hot. She also might have had to get used to people if she lived where there are less people then other parts in Puerto Rico. She also needed money to get around in the United States without any or a little bit of it.

Antonia has a disease called abnormality of the colon. She had a surgery in Puerto Rico at the age of 18 but it didn't go so well so she went to the United States to reach her dream but also to have another surgery done to her. She went to the Mayo clinic at the age twenty.( Changing the face of medicine)''Take a stand. But, more importantly, believe that it's there for you if you work at it''.For the next two years it was hard for her because she had to be in the hospital most of the time. She rarely got out of the hospital. When everyone was outside for school recces or P.E she had to stay in because of her disease. Her disease also limited her from childhood activity. (Discovery).

Antonia is a very important surgeon in the United States. She attended the University of Puerto Rico. She had a hard time because of her surgery. But from having that surgery it made her want to pursue her job in medicine even more. While she was there she was in the medical school.

There she completed her medical training in the study of kidneys at the University of Michigan. After that she was leading a campaign against tobacco companies who hurt children in cigarette ads. That means that the tobacco companies were trying to get kids were were not smoking and behaving well to start tobacco.When you succeed, don't forget the responsibility of making somebody else succeed with you. Tobacco is very hurtful and dangerous to everyone. '' I believe that fortitude is key. More than anything, be consistent. Go at it. Go at it. Go at it''. ''When you succeed, don’t forget the responsibility of making somebody else succeed with you. '' It can cause and give you cancer. ( Changing the face of Medicine) In 1993 she left her post as a surgeon to work for the united states children fund. A children's fund is to help children who are in need of help. I want to be able to look back someday and say, "I did make a difference." Whether is was to open the minds of people to think that a woman can do a good job, or whether it's the fact that so many kids out there think that they could be like me.
