🙌 Never forget where you came from! My fondest memories stem from the mid-90s when my family and I lived in our cozy cabin. Picture a high school sophomore, sharing this one bedroom space with mom, dad, a brother, and two sisters. Thanks to my father’s promotion, we upgraded to this cabin with a kitchen and bathroom, leaving behind our tinier cabin with communal facilities, like the ones on the left. Si Se Pudo! Lo hicimos, mi gente. #NeverGiveUp! P.S. Last year, my siblings and I revisited our cherished "mansion" and were thrilled to see a new migrant family living there, continuing its legacy.
We had humble beginnings which was a blessing, it made me who I am and never afraid to lose anything. We come to the world with nothing and will leave with nothing. Thanks for sharing, it made you who you are and I am honored to know you.
Your story beautifully captures the essence of humble beginnings and the importance of appreciating them. The mid-90s memories of your family in that cozy cabin are genuinely heartwarming. Thank you for sharing this inspiring journey. Claro que SI SE PUDO!
Thank you so much for sharing this, Jay! It is a gift to have insight on what someone's life was like before we jump in and meet them in the chapter they're currently in. What a tremendous story you have!
Jay, inspirational! Although a tiny cabin, but a solid family foundation, instilled morals, and stong work ethic were fortified! Thank you for sharing this core memory of yours!
You’re amazing, Jay Garcia ! Great things ahead for you, Friend!

2wMy entire family came from humble beginnings and went through incredibly difficult and scary times. I never felt like I was missing out on something growing up because I was happy. I attribute much of my creativity, resourcefulness, and resolve to the three strongest generations of women before me. Nothing could have been more valuable than being their descendant and student. 💯
