Wow! Wow! Wow! What a ride. Hopeful and sad. Inspiring. As a Mexican-American who grew up near San Diego and is about a decade older that Mr. Leon, I knew exactly of the places and times he described. I too am first generation and I could identify so clearly with his experiences. I did not have the harrowing experiences he had. I had those of being poor and in predominately white schools, with rich kids. I too ended up at an ivy earning a PhD.
I say this only to say that identified so closely with some of his struggles. I was hopeful for him. Wanting him to head out of the darkness he was in. I was rooting for him, all the while knowing he had “made it”. His experiences are beyond imaginable though he describes them well. It’s unthinkable what he experienced. In that, this is a story of hope.
I hope he can s able to buy his AMA a house like he wanted.
