Leaving or staying?

i think that Esperanza will decide to come back to mango street.  She has had a lot of changes in her life here and is quite connected.  She also feels attached because of the people around her.  She also had a lot of influence to stay. For example, the three girls, The Fates, state that she should make a wish.  they were completely confident about the weather the next day. They were also confident that they would make the wish come true. Also, they were sure about what she wished for.  This shows that they are very magical or talented(in the book).  they could make the wish come true, but they warn her.  The girl with the pale, porcelain skin states that
"When you leave, you must remember to come back for the others.  A circle, understand? You will always be esperanza.  You will always be mango street. You can't erase what you know.  You cant forget who you are."
 She is taken back about how they knew what she had wished for.  But then she actually felt ashamed to wish for that:
 "I didn't know what to say.  it was as if she could read my mind, as if she knew what i had wished for, and i felt ashamed for having made such a selfish wish."
This will inspire her to actually come back and help out her family and friend who are stuck here. i think this changed her.  At this moment, she thought back to all that happened at mango and felt connected.  She was Mango. She feels as if she owes something and will come back after she becomes financially stable to help them out.

in the future i think that she will move away and go to school. She will get a job and buy her dream  house.  then she will start to feel guilty and sad and lonely and move back to mango and help them financially.  She will come back and help out.  this is all because of the Fates. she will feel as if she owes something and will come back and help out.  this will bring her happiness when she comes back and helps them out.  And her life will be fulfilled and she will live happily ever after.
