Who is esperanza’s older friend that values education enough to take two trains to the university “because she doesn’t want to spend her whole life in factory or behind a rolling pin.”?

That would be Alicia. If I remember correctly, she studies every night; fearful of her father. Esperanza admires her older friend for that.
