Both of my parents were born in Mexico. When they came here to the United States, my mom was pregnant with me. They came here for a better life and that's exactly what they accomplished for their lives and the lives of their children. There are five of us. My parents worked hard; they sent us to private schools. They made sure my siblings and I got a great education and reinforced the importance of getting a college education and not just stopping at high school.
