Where I come from
I come from Fabuloso being used to mop the floor,
I come from mom having food ready after a long day of school,
I come from never seeing dad because he works too much,
I come from no tragedy, but the only way to make it to where you want to be is hard work,
I come from constant hours of work being put in and desperate for results,
I come from learning from my mistakes and NEVER giving up,
I come from where no one has reached the higher levels of education in my family,
I come from where I have to be the one to inspire others to reach for their goals,
I come from setting the example for the younger kids,
I come from Phoenix Arizona and I promise you I'll be the first in our family to make it straight to the university and succeed,
I am Eduardo and this is where I come from.
