I appreciate everything that has been done for me. After a difficult start, I've just followed my dreams.

I've always been seen as the underdog in everything I've ever done in my life, and it doesn't bother me in the slightest. The lessons have just made me stronger.

Later in life, when I'm retired and have a family of my own and will be able to send my kids to college, that's when I'll start spending. Way too many athletes go broke these days, and I like saving my money so that I can ensure my family and friends currently and after me will never have to endure some of the things I did when I was a kid.

I am very proud of the fact that I get to go out there every day and train in order to represent the Mexican people, and I can only hope they look up to me in a similar fashion.

Everything I've done I've just fallen into.

My mom, she wasn't like a baseball mother who knew everything about the game. She just wanted me to be happy with what I was doing.
