On September 5, 2005, my father came to Chicago by airplane to seek more education to obtain better jobs in Mexico. His cousin Noe helped him come to America by giving him a place to stay and a job to support him through his college education during his time in America. Noe was a vital man to my dad because he offered his house to help my dad's needs. Noe is the dad of some of my favorite cousins and is a leader of the family I always feel at home with them. My dad ended up staying in Chicago and fell in love with the industry Noe introduced to him to. We all return to Cousin Noe’s home for all family events.  Opportunities will always come as long as you keep looking for them and have good people to help support you.
