To share a life story is to open the doors of the heart and allow outsiders to explore its interior; it is to hand over the keys to a man's soul and walk its intrinsic hallways, its hidden paths. But Enrique's life is crystal clear, transparent. It is a life full of diversity and adventure. Being a son of a businessman and a journalist, an avid negotiator and a fighter, Enrique Garcia didn't know calmness as a child. His life was nomadic, like an everlasting pilgrimage where life changed its landscape constantly. Originally from Villa Juarez, San Luis Potos?, his childhood was adorned by the beautiful landscape of the Mexican High Plateau and splashed by the coastal waters of Ensenada, Baja California, where part of his childhood was spent. He didn't know it then but Ensenada would become the entrance hall to El Norte, which will later take him on a family exodus to the Windy City of Chicago after living under the eternal sun of California and before moving on to the Mile High City in Colorado.This book of memories narrates the long and bumpy road of a life dedicated to fighting and working in the quest for success; a life of ups and downs where the one constant was opportunity, that which never comes easy. Although the United States is a country of immigrants, it has never been easy to everyone, especially to the race of bronze whose land was once taken away from them. Enrique Garcia tells us about his life in detail. He teaches us without intending to and he also shares with great pride the visualization and realization of the American Dream. That which can only be achieved by those who don't fear failure, the ones who know how to persevere, leave a legacy of knowledge for the generations to come. This book of memories is a gift that can only be opened by those who appreciate and respect life and its teachings.
