Alejandra's Paper Pad Story leads the listener into the fashion dreams of a preteen. The sounds of the sewing machine in the background makes it somewhat difficult to focus on Alejandra's words. Alejandra's voice is casual and friendly, and it almost feels as if she is sitting right next to you, telling you about her dreams about becoming a fashion designer. Talking about having her own label in the beginning and in the end neatly framed the piece. Alejandra's unique voice and honest dream tell a simple but interesting story. However, some questions remain -- why doesn't Alejandra's mother teach her how to sew? If some of these questions were answered in the piece, it would give some context for the listener.
