In this video, Mr. Sauce, an Ecuadorian chef and one of the fastest marathon runners in New York City is featured.

Sauce’s home country. He confesses that he wants to go back but is forced to stay because of the love and the support he has for his son. This emotion and idea about his son and allowing him to reach his full potential, is described beautifully when Mr. Sauce shows his struggle and sacrifice by saying he wishes to goes back but it would be like clipping his son’s “wings”.

This personally stood out to me as my father, also an immigrant, had to go through the same struggle for us, his children and family, to have a better life. Even though it’s a bit different as he can enter and leave the country as he wishes due to the fact he owns the “elite” American passport and citizenship, at first he couldn’t and faced the same struggles Mr. Sauce did and still

Being a Cuban immigrant has provided me with a unique bicultural perspective that has become my support system in the United States. For the first eleven years of my life, my culture was composed of music and dancing. In every street corner of my hometown, there was a group of seniors playing domino and close by, their grandchildren dancing to the Salsa music being played on the radio to pass the time.
