coming from humble roots in the Dominican Republic and being a small-town boy who grew up on a farm, I want to share my story with the world. I want to narrate my struggles, share the stories of my parents and grandparents who shaped me to be the person I have become, and inspire those who struggle like me. I want them to know that there is hope and a lot of possibilities, and inspiration for those who feel like being from a poor country will lead them down a path of nothingness. humans are capable of brilliance, and I want to inspire those who come from backgrounds and walks of life like the one I had come from. I want them to know that despite growing up in a village, i ended up attending the very best of schools within the country and later on moved to the united states. all hope is not lost for us, i want to share how education, having strong role models, and resilient will power can really help transform your life and pay off in the end.
