My parents risked everything to give me a better life. As a one year old, they carried me in their arms across the treacherous Mexican border into America, where I was raised in an environment of opportunity – the American dream.
They were not born into privilege and had to work extremely hard to provide for our growing family. I am eternally grateful for their sacrifices and everything they have done for our family, community, and as impactful members of our American society.
As a Mexican American, I am proud to celebrate my heritage and culture. πππ¨π₯ππ£ππ πππ§ππ©πππ ππ€π£π©π is the perfect time of year for us all (and of any ethnicity) to reflect on what makes us unique in this world while recognizing those who have gone before us so that they might continue their vision forward through our success stories today!
I encourage other first, second, and third generation Americans, employees, students, and immigrants of all ethnicities to do the same. Let’s continue working hard and achieving success. We can make a difference in our American communities and empower others along the way.
