J: Hello everybody, my name is Jeimar Neiza, and today we are going to explain the story of Dolly Zea. We’re going to examine it through the hero’s journey. Now, I’m going to be asking her a question, or at least multiple questions, on her hero’s journey. Mainly from the call to adventure to the return, so I hope you all listen and I hope you all enjoy. J:So, mother, what you would consider you call to adventure. Was it when you were a child, when you were an adult. Dolly: When I was little? J: Yes, like in one time in your life mother. Like, what brought you to do the things you do mother? Dolly: When I was very little, I always thought I would be a person very important. J: Yes, well, tell me a specific time, a place? Dolly: I had 8 years old, and I my mother said I could sing. (Singing ensues) Dolly: I was very, very, very poor. I would sing that song and I was sure that one day I would have everything. Everything that I would want and more. I would help so many people. I grew up. I grew up and thought that would happen. J: This was when you were 8, yes mother? Dolly: Mhm J: Was this in the summer, in the fall, in the winter. Dolly: I would remember that we had a house, and that house didn’t have a floor. And all of us. My brother, your uncle, and your aunt that died, would walk to a river with one cart. We would pull the cart with a rope, and there would be blood on our palms. We would get the clay and bricks for our house. We would build the bases for our house. J: This was when you were 8, correct? Dolly: Mhm J: This was your call to adventure, yes mother? Dolly: Mhm
J: Calling you to do all these things. Dolly: Mhm. So it was that we did things extremely hard and, I would always imagen, (Singing ensues) J: Ok, mother. In that case, your adventure, your call to adventure would be that day where you you pulled those rocks, and your mother would sing to you those songs. Dolly: I would sing. She would just remind me. She would just remeber. J:Ok, but.. Dolly: I would sing, and I would remember that I was very little, without shoes. With clothes that were very poor and dirty. With my hair too long, and my face too dirty. J: Ok mother.. Dolly: I would sing. J:Ok mother so that’s your call to adventure. Dolly: Mhm J: Ok well, before I go on, do have have an supernatural aid mother? Like phantoms, or.. Dolly: No. J:No? Dolly:No. J: Nothi.. Dolly: Nothing, nothing, nothing at all. J: Everything was you. Dolly: All I had was hunger, because we didn’t have money. My mother was very sick, and I want to one day be someone important. J: Alright, then. In that case, my second question is the threshold guardian. You know, the threshold is the entering the “new world”, the “special world”. In this situation, the new world is
America. So, what was something that didn’t let you get into America. If you don’t to say much, that’s ok. Dolly: I had 12 years, and one day I saw on the television screen about Disney world. I said Wow. I thought that it was right, if it was real. J: So.. that’s your true call to adventure, what drove you to.. Dolly: And, I had to work extremely hard, for one day, to get to America. J: Ok mother, so you would say your threshold guardian would be the money you need, as well as the education, in order to get to America. To work here, yes mother? Dolly: Yes J: Ok, so now, I would like to ask you a question. What was your threshold mother, perchance. What was your new world you came to. Dolly: When I came here with your father, we married and came here. Everything was different. I didn’t speak english, I didn’t know the system. There was always post/resources very important in Colombia, and I was an important person. But in America, we were nobodies. We had to get jobs very hard. It was very difficult, and we didn’t have children. J: So this was your threshold, as well as your challenges/temptations. Dolly: It was this was, and my husband and I work in any job we could. We cleaned, we took care of other children, we moved cars. We had many jobs for both of us to live. We didn’t have our own children. But I always prayed and prayed and prayed. My mother taught me to pray, as well as my grandmother when I was young. J: Ok mother, so I need to ask you. In this threshold, this new world, the place you didn’t know, who was your mentor. Who was the person who helped you. Who helped you in those times of need. Our more specifically you and father.\ Dolly: There was a lady… there was a lady in Miami that helped us alot. I can’t remember her name. J: Sorry, wait a second mother. (Short period of time later). J: Who was your mentor again?
Dolly: It was a lady who cleaned, no, it was a lady who gave us work. It was a person who was very good. She was called… I can’t remember. But she taught us a lot of things my husband and I. She helped us alot we got here. She knew the system, helped us with school, all that stuff. J: Ok, and you don’t know the name. Like, give me a name on the top of your head mother. (long pause of silence) Dolly: She looked kind of white… Rosa! It was Rosa. J: And she was called lady Rosa, ok mother. Dolly: She was Cubana. J: She was Cuba? Dolly: She was from Cuba J: Ok mother. So, right now you were working and working. Now, for the most interesting part. What was your abyss. Now, this is about how you died. Not really die, how you died in your mind, in your heart. Now, what was your lowest point mother. The point where you believed that everything was wrong. Dolly: We didn’t have any kids. Not anyone of them. There was once a time where your father and I worked so much and yet got so little. We lived in a room so disgusting and dirty. We didn’t have bed. We didn’t even have a car. It was so hard because I thought “What am I doing in this country?” “We didn’t do anything, we didn’t get anywhere.” We were both very depressed. J: How old were you, to be exact? Dolly: We were at 20 years. 25 years, 22 years. J: You were 22 year when this happened. Dolly: No, I was 30. Let say about 30 years. J: You had 30 yea… Dolly: 32 years! J: 32 years. Could you please describe to me...
Dolly: Then Juliana was born, and our lives changed. Everything change when Juliana came. J: Ok mother.. Dolly: Juliana was a gift. But I always prayed and prayed(x5) and prayed. J: Ok mother. So what was your transformation. Dolly: When I was able to get my own business. I went back to study, and help myself. I worked, and the money came. I always prayed to have a business of my own, like Colombia, that was it. My husband was always helping. The part of my life that’s the most important is your father. J: That’s it. Dolly: That’s it. J: So after your transformation, you little girl.. Dolly: The part that is the most important part in my life is my family. J: I already know… Dolly: My husband and you guys. It’s the most valuable. J: Ok mother, and what was your atonement? What did you win. Who did you help? Who helped you? Dolly: Who helped me? J: Who did you help? Dolly: Who did I helped. About every person I gave a job to. At every person I gave advice to. At every person, who ever asked me for help. J: This was after your business. After your store…. Dolly: After the events at my store, I started a program called Mis Juventude and I helped a lot of kids that had a lot of problems. J: Ok. Dolly: Problems at home, problems personal, problems with identity. A Lot of problems, and I helped.
J: This is because you are a hero, correct? Dolly: I’m not a hero, I’m just a mother. J: You helped many, that’s… Dolly: I’m a mother, I’m.. someone who had so my gifts in my life. J: Yes. Dolly: Because I of all you 4. J: Yes, and that was your atonement, helping people all around. Even though Mis Juventude lasted for 3 years, it …. Dolly: 4 J: What? Dolly: 4 years. J: Oh, I’m sorry, 4 years, like, how many people did you help? Dolly:200 J: 200? Dolly: 200 girls. J: 200 girls… Dolly: 200 that we shown. It was hard. Very hard. Very very hard. Too, super, mega, ultra hard. It was Hard!.It was hard J you couldn’t imagine. It was terrible! Ha ha. Now I’m very happy. J: I.. What was your return mother? Dolly: What? J: This is the final part. Dolly: What’s my return?
J: Like when you got out, you knew your world. When you were a kid, you knew your world. You knew that when you were a kid, the world was a bit hard. Ok mother. Right now, after this experience of life, and how did it go. Now, you're returning to the same position again. Not to Colombia, but at your mind. Like, you know more. Like, what do you do more. Dolly: What do I do, I’m more happy. J: But how. Who do you help out now mother? Dolly: I help… right now I have a dream. I have a dream is that I’m going to help build houses in Colombia, to help my . To help mothers divorced, that have kids, with disabilities. Because, the most important thing in my life was you guys. I saw how my mother struggled with us, and how she didn’t have any help. J: How are you going to do this exactly? Dolly: I’m going to be a Diamond. J: In Amway mother? Dolly:Mhm Dolly: The final part. The final part would be to build houses and help all the mother’s, maidens, and other women who need help. That have children with disabilities. J: You going to do this by becoming diamond, yes. Dolly: I’m going to do it, when I become a diamond in Amway. Because the money, must be used for a cause good and noble. J: Yes mother, and one of those things you did was once talk to 30,000 people on stage. Dolly: Is to be the example for others that you can do it. That the limitations are in the mind. J: Alright then, thank you all for listening. Translations will be in the link below. I hoped you all listened and I hoped you all enjoyed.
