Answer:
Ernesto believed that the future was limited and that it was already planned for him, at the beginning of history. In the end, he realizes that the future is limitless and that he must take advantage of every opportunity he can have.
Step-by-step explanation:
This question is about "Barrio Boy", an autobiography by Ernesto Galarza, where he tells how his family fled from Mexico to America and all the difficulties they went through during and after immigration.
Ernesto shows all the difficulties his family went through, the difficulty of staying true to his culture, living in a different country and all the mental construction and personality construction he had during that period.
At the beginning of the story, he shows how education was not an important factor for his family, when they lived in Mexico. Ernesto was told that a man's physical strength was more important than academic training and that his destiny was already set, which was to work on the family farm. However, in America, even in the midst of a difficult life, he saw that education was important and opened up a wide range of opportunities for his future.
