As Latinos, we are so aware of what people go through in order to come to America. It's very interesting to do research on something that's been culturally a part of your existence.

It's okay to start over again.

No matter what our situation is, there's always a way to celebrate life and there's always a way to start again.

I got hit twice in the face, and that was not fun.

I played sports, so I understood quickly I shouldn't be eating fast food because it was slowing me down, making me feel lousy and lazy, and my instincts were not working as they should.

I think at some point you have to empower others and really allow everyone else to do what they're hired to do and what they're brought onto the team to do.

Honestly, Ive been very blessed. Yes, I am cursed with this gift.
