Because she doesn't want espiranza to end up like her and wants her to have a good job and a good pay. Like any mom(usually) she wants the best for her child and that is the case in this situation.

Esperanza's mother wants her to do her best and get a good job that she will like. So she will not end up like her.

Jessica powers__Esperanzas mother wants her to make a better path for herself becuase of Esperanzas mothers own life and experiences (so Esperanza later in her life can have more then what her parents had for themself.)Esperanzas parents dont have the best jobs at all and they just want more for their daughter.Overall for a better life

Davin Fumich. Esperanza's mother wanted a better life for her daughter so she can 'have a life' and live a normal life.

Her mother wants her choose a better path for herself because her mother is upset that they live in such a bad area and she wants her children to have a better life than what they had then.

Esperanza's mother wants her to make a better path in life so she doesnt have the same life as her mother when she gets older\
