In 1957, my father entered the Mexican Military with the dream of pursuing a college education. After marrying my mother and beginning a young family, he set aside his own ambitions to provide for those he loved. In 1960, he joined the Bracero Program, and it was in the fields of Colorado and Nebraska where his dream for a better life—and a college education for his children—truly took root. His sacrifice planted the seeds of opportunity that would one day transform our family’s future.
After immigrating to the United States in 1980, our family entered the demanding world of migrant farmwork, traveling from Nebraska to Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, and Florida.

After immigrating to the United States in 1980, our family entered the demanding world of migrant farmwork, traveling from Nebraska to Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, and Florida. Few jobs are as grueling or hazardous, yet those long days in the fields taught us powerful lessons—chief among them that education is the key to a different future. Our parents never stopped reminding us to work hard, aim higher, and pursue a college education so we could rise beyond the hardships they endured.

After decades of working in the fields from 1979 to 2008, my dad never stopped championing the power of education. Although he never earned a college degree himself, five of his children went to college. From bachelor’s to doctoral degrees—proof of what determination and opportunity can create. This is the story of how we moved from the farm fields to the C-suite, and how the Migrant Education Program, Title I, Title III, and strong systems of support helped turn resilience into academic and professional achievement.
