From a very young age my parents have always told me that education was the way to a better life. This hackneyed comment was always there whenever we finished cleaning a medical center, a salon or took a break from mowing lawns in Florida’s relentless summer heat. Starting out in the United States was tough for my family; we did menial jobs for little pay just to make it through the week. When my parents finally found decent jobs the country was met by an economic crisis and they were both laid off. Eventually after months of desperation we moved to West Pam Beach in search for work.
