Growing up, she took care of her two younger siblings while her parents
worked in factories and in the agriculture fields of California. She was quite a student. In high school, she was named one of the top
100 students in the county. She was active in community service,
mentoring students who couldn't complete high school without help. She
attended a community college, Santa Ana College. I might add, because
she is undocumented, she didn't qualify for any Federal Government
assistance. Going to college in that circumstance means working,
scraping by, putting things off, sacrificing to get through. She did
it.
