Crisanta Sampang uses the article, Motherhood for Dollars, to describe her life story. She uses logic by viewing life with true meaning rather than exaggerating using unrealistic arguments. She wanted to give her children the best life possible, but she realized her expectations were delusional. Two of her daughters, Maricar and Catherine, dropped out of school and married as a teenager (Sampang, 2015). Maricel was fortunate to complete her university course and earn a degree. She realizes the sacrifices she made for the girls to live a happy life were not met, and her intention was unsuccessful.
