As a first- generation college student and child of migrant farm workers, I am dedicated to my educational studies and efforts to earn an advanced degree. My parents immigrated to the United States from Mexico to find work and be able to raise a family where their children would not be limited to educational opportunities. My mom and dad have worked in agriculture for over 30 years and continue to do so. I admire both my parents work ethic. They take pride in what they do. Their jobs are not easy, and I value their effort and dedication they put to raise my siblings and me. I have worked alongside my parents in the fields and this profoundly impacted me. I saw other families bring their children to work to either help with making ends meet
