Speaking in Spanish, Marta asked the woman questions that would tell her the amount of food stamps to approve. If she had answered "yes," Marta would have then asked the woman how much she earned. Marta then told the woman that she was eligible for food stamps.
Because the woman had not earned any income in the previous month, the stamps would be free. Marta loved her work because she could make decisions that improved the way people lived. Though she didn't yet know it, that summer put her on the path to becoming a social scientist--a career that would give her the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of many more people.

Is it a third of the popu- liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Suppose we find that Anglo-Americans those with mainly European backgrounds make more money than Mexican Americans. The American Dream has existed throughout the history of the United States, and it continues to guide people today. Marta's father strongly believed in an important part of the dream: That with hard work and discipline, his children could grow up to live better lives than he did.
Is that because people of Mexican descent are deliberately kept out of jobs that pay well? Or is it because many of them are recent immigrants, or the children of recent immigrants, and are still getting their education? Marta Tienda's career has centered on how to make the American dream a reality for more racial and ethnic populations, particularly Hispanics. She focuses primarily on how to provide greater opportunities in education and employment. As a social scientist, she brings the power of personal knowledge to her work.
In fact, many of the questions she asks rise directly from her own experience. When she probes the history of Mexican Americans, for exam- ple, she is exploring her own past.

Numbers are the tools she uses to uncover fascinating information about people and their behavior. As the daughter of an illegal Mexican immigrant, Marta Tienda understands the pain of growing up poor. When her family had to pick crops to earn money, Marta saw firsthand the tough conditions that migrant workers had to endure.
