He came from a poor family, and took a job of hard manual labor in which he had to work nonstop until sweat was pouring from every pore in his body, but at night, no matter how poorly he felt, he would pour himself a cold one and then he would pore over his textbooks until his poor mind couldn’t take it anymore, set on his goal of a new job that an education could open up to him.

Venía de una familia pobre, y tomó un empleo de trabajo manual duro en el que tuvo que trabajar sin parar hasta que el sudor le chorreaba de todos los poros, pero por la noche, no importa cuán mal se sentía, se servía una cerveza fría y luego estudiaba atentamente sus libros de texto hasta que su pobre mente estaba agotada, fijo en su meta de un nuevo trabajo que una educación podría hacer posible.
