Christian González ’21
“Hello Cardinals, my name is Christian González, I am extremely thankful for my father. For the past several years, my father has become both my mother and father figure due to the unfortunate loss of my mother. My father has done and still does so much for my siblings and I, from working days and nights to provide us with food and a house to live in, all on his own. He has sacrificed so much in life to make sure we’re all caught up with our needs. It’s four of my siblings and I, yet my father never gave up and raised us through the whirlwind of years that we experienced. My father has taught me so much about life and because of that, I am the dedicated, hardworking, generous, and caring person I am today, which I am extremely thankful for!”
