He worked hard every day, and after several years he decided one summer he wouldn’t return to Ohio to do the annual picking. He had chosen to attend college and become someone. He was born and raised in Mexico but he was determined to do something. He attended the University of Nebraska as well as the Texas State University in San Marcos and completed his school and got his degree as a Respiratory Therapist.
