Martha is 34 years old and lives with her 12-year-old son. Ever since she started working as a secretary in the bus station in her city she began selling honey and pisco, which is very profitable and doesn´t cause her neglect her job since she sells these products from her same office. What she likes is that people now recognize her and she has customers who place orders for honey which they take to their own cities. What is difficult is taking care of her customers and at the same time the agency´s passengers. If she wants to sell she has to be very careful to do it in a way which doesn´t make any customers uncomfortable or causes her not to attend others.


In her son, Martha has her greatest motivation for working hard, as he is the only person with whom she shares her sorrows and her joys.


She is now thinking about increasing her products so she can have more sales. In time, she will set up a stand for honey and pisco at the bus terminal where she works.

Martha tiene 34 años, vive con su hijo de 12 años. Desde que empezó a trabajar como secretaria en el Terminal de Transporte de su ciudad, inició la venta de miel y de pisco, ya que es muy rentable y no descuida su trabajo, ya que en su misma agencia aprovecha en vender estos productos.Lo que le agrada, es que las personas ya la reconocen y tiene clientes quienes le solicitan varios pedidos de miel para llevarlos a sus ciudades, pero lo difícil es atender a sus clientes y al mismo tiempo a los pasajeros de la agencia, ya que si desea vender tiene que ser muy hábil en hacerlo para no incomodar a unos, ni dejar de atender a los otros.
Martha tiene en su hijo, su mayor motivo de trabajo y esfuerzo, ya que es el único con quien comparte sus penas y alegrías.
Ahora, tiene pensado incrementar sus productos y tener mayor venta, con el tiempo poner un puesto de miel y pisco en el Terminal de Trasnportes, donde trabaja.
