”We need more people like you! I had to watch my (undocumented) mom get arrested at 15 and had to translate what the cop was saying to her while she was getting arrested. One of the scariest moments of my life.”

”I saw my dad using my mom’s insurance money to build us a home, a few years later he passed on, everything went to my stepmom who chased us away, lived from relatives to relatives, hand to mouth, begged on streets and today I am a civil engineer professionally registered and rebuilding my home.”

”Way to go! That took a lot of hard work! You should be proud of yourself. I am always telling the students I teach that they can be whatever they want to be! Does not matter your situation, if that is your goal and that is what you desire, no one can keep you from your heart Heart suit desire!”
