De Donde Eres???

Today I walked into our new home which is about 2 days from being completely done. I walk and stared at our huge new home only to remember the small, old-wood, paint-peeling barrio home on 4th street. Or the 4 room home on gravel street which our new home is bigger just upstairs than that old 409 gravel st. house. I think of the struggles I have put behind me to push forward like those billions of water drops eventually breaking that rock in half. Bruce Lee once stated, "be like the nature of water" which to me means if you have the ability to allow your life to overcome any challenges you face then you will be successfully. Your dreams may be as soft as a water droplet, but if you continue building your dreams then your droplet can be a destructive force that tears down any walls you face.

So here I am, Masters degree, beautiful home, and soon a beautiful and successful wife, and to think.......All this from a little Chicano boy born to the streets of Blumberg Park to the suburbs of Northwest Crossing.

This is me.....JAKE from 4th Street, Seguin, Tx 78155
