Document Summary

His parents were immigrants one generation later his family had a constitutional officer. He wanted to be a professional baseball player, but he knew he needed a backup plan. He was essentially harassed by the guy from his high school who had gone to mit 2 years before him into applying. Got into mit & received a degree in mechanical engineering. In 1994, he came home to ca to find: A big recession (especially in engineering field) Proposition 187: make illegal immigrants ineligible for public benefits. It would have taken government services & resources like school away from them. His parents would never discuss political issues & voting. Not because they didn"t think it was important, but since they were only legal residents and not yet citizens, they weren"t able to get involved themselves. We have to do more to get people to take advantage of their democracy & vote.
