María was just 16 years old when the earthquake hit. She was at home with her family when the ground began to shake violently. The walls of her house crumbled around her, and she was buried under the rubble. María spent hours trapped in the darkness, listening to the cries of her loved ones as they were crushed to death.

Miraculously, María was eventually rescued and taken to a hospital. She had suffered severe injuries, but she was alive. In the days and weeks that followed, María struggled to come to terms with what she had experienced. She had lost her home, her family, and her friends. She was left with nothing but the clothes on her back.

But María refused to give up. She found strength in the stories of other survivors, and she began to rebuild her life. She went back to school and eventually found a job. She married and had a family of her own. Today, María is a successful businesswoman and a devoted mother.

Terremoto is a powerful and inspiring story of survival and resilience. María's story is a reminder that even in the face of unimaginable tragedy, hope can prevail.
