She used to be a catechism teacher in Mexico and was really involved in organizing masses. Mom still keeps up with her education in Richmond at the diocese.

My mom was born in Mexico, she's been here ever since she was 16 and I'm here for her because I don't believe (in) the bill on immigration.

I can pinpoint that as the single happiest moment of my life, because I realized then that Mom would always have my back. It made me feel giant. I raced back down the concrete ramp, faster than I ever had before, so fast I should have fallen, but I didn't fall, because Mom was in the world.

Had it been Europeans, the Inquisition might have gotten involved from Mexico.

You know, I loved math. My mom was a math teacher.

My mom keeps me grounded and all that. She makes me do chores.
