The American Dream

 

I am the son of a Costa Rican immigrant. My mother came to our country in a work exchange program as a household maid. She learned to speak, read & write English. She received a Bachelors Degree from Boston University and a Masters Degree in Education.

 

I’m a first generation American and as my mother, I love my country.   My sister, mother and I moved to Palm Beach County Florida in 1978. Being a single mom and working as a teacher commuting 50 miles back and forth to Belle Glade, she dreamt of buying a home for her family. My mom and I would drive around West Palm Beach dreaming about the home she would love to own and I would dream about the room that would be all mine.

 

My love for this country and the American Dream come through the struggles and achievements that I witnessed through my mother’s accomplishments. Learning the language, becoming a citizen, purchasing her first home, and achieving a higher education, inspires me to help other achieve their goals of homeownership and future prosperity.

 

Give me the opportunity to work hard for you.
