    As a DACA recipient this podcast was very special. I had a special connection with Irving because many times I was told by counselors that I did not qualify for financial aid because I did not have a SSN. God had other plans for me and I was able to graduate from college will a full ride and graduated with my BSN. Now, I am traveling for work and I will be moving to CA from the East Coast all by myself as a young independent woman. To all my DACA recipients SI SE PUEDE!!! 🇲🇽

    I related hard to Irvin's story 🥺 I always knew growing up that my parents and I were immigrants, but I didn't know what that meant for myself and my future. Towards the end of my high school freshman year, all my friends started talking about getting summer jobs and that's when reality hit me that I was limited in the things I could do unlike my peers 😮‍💨 I felt that anger, resentment and frustration that Irvin mentions. I couldn't understand why my parents thought the US was a better opportunity for me when i couldn't even get into college without papers. I started thinking the same and thought, "What is all this for I'm doomed!" But similar to Irvin, that was the year DACA was announced. I remember the tears in my moms face and the shock and excitement on my dad's. My dad got on my application ASAP, and he didn't care what he had to pay they were gonna make sure they got me on DACA.

    25:25 - when Irvin said “the higher you go up in your education, the less diversity…” can totally understand that. I'm also a first-gen Latina who went to grad school & had to pave my own way. I was very grateful to have my friend who was also in grad school (she went to UCLA & I went to USC) & we supported each other through our grad school journey! I had counselors, including a Latina counselor at one point, tell me something similar -- that not many Latinos take school seriously yet alone graduate. Let's continue to uplift our communities & pave the way for future Latino generations!! 👏👏

      But long story short, I’m first gen also, and I dropped out of CSUCI after my first semester because I felt so out of place and I got home sick.

    The DACA story touched my heart bc when I tried to become a clinical psychologist, even shortly after daca, I was told it wasn’t realistic considering I couldn’t afford it and didn’t qualify for most scholarships ONLY due to my status. This came from a counselor and led to me changing my entire path. I don’t regret it but it hurts to know that this is the standard for how Latinos are treated in higher education. Still, I’m so happy to hear people like you guys chose to keep fighting and spreading this message!

    Shout out to all the Latinos pursuing higher education or who have gotten advanced degrees.
    The struggles you face throughout this process are one too many to count. Keep going, it’s not easy whatsoever but it is worth it. From a fellow MBA graduate 🫶🏼

    I think by them sharing this journey on social media, it really correlates with “one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” They opened that window to show Latinos achieving great things, by seeing that, people watching can follow and be inspired to do the same.

    This was one of the most relatable stories that has been on this podcast for me. Irvin’s DACA story was similar to mine experience. My school counselor also told me not to shot high because I didn’t have papers. After years of working hard and being one of the top students of my high school, to hear her say that I had no future was hard. She said I wouldn’t have the money to pay for college. My mom was there and told her to kick rocks 🤣 that I would go to college no matter what. I graduated with a bachelors degree with a full ride scholarship. Now, I work as an immigration paralegal helping families with their immigration matters. Next it’s law school to help our people in the community.
    Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise or allow them to dictate your future. Si se puede! ✊🏼

    38:04 this reminded me of when I found out I had to take the LSAT before going to law school. None of these things were explained to me. I had no guidance in the beginning until my former boss told me what to do and sat with me to walk me through what I needed to do.

    As a DACA recipient I remember a counselor telling me I would never be able to go to school. I remember being so defeated. Now I have my bachelors in nursing. I’m a working RN and i have the privilege to teach the future nurses. It makes me soo happy that I kept going. Don’t give up my daca family! We got this 👏🏽👏🏽

    I love hearing their story and what is it that motivates them to keep going! They are doing it for US 🇲🇽✊🏼 and Sebas is right when he said they are the Trail Blazers and they will inspire soo many generations to come. Irving’s answer to why he wants to work ER is soo beautiful! I know that in CA undocumented people were only eligible for emergency services but this year that changed and they are now entitled to full scope services if eligible for Medical. Working in the eligibility world people don’t understand what a difference it’s makes in our community! Some people can’t afford to go to the doctor regularly and now they are able to! Love this episode is probably one of my favorite ❤

    As a latina with an MBA,. It was not easy. Being a single mother, having to work 2-3 jobs and attend school full time I can literally say, it was a struggle, sacrifice, tears, sleepless nights, missed many of my familys parties etc. Has made me a stronger person than I ever was. thank y’all so much for this amazing episode!! First time college student in my family not knowing anything about college i had to figure it all out on my own.
    A lot of times we had to figure things out on our own which makes us even smarter and hard-working. This was an amazing episode and I hope it inspired all of the Latinos who want to become doctors, lawyers, and scholars ❤” If i did it anybody from any background can do it!!” One of the best episodes!!! So proud of my Latino Community.!!

My parents aren’t fluent in English and having a bilingual doctor to treat them is such a heart warming and comfort feeling. Thank you and we are all rooting for you both! And every single latin@ in the medical field!

    STEM degrees can be life changing. My husband is an Engineer and I am an accountant as first gen, I feel the struggles they talked about. I love seeing first gen and Latinos pursuing higher education. Especially in a career as challenging as Medicine. I hope they continue to excel in their careers and wish them continued greatness. Also something no one talks about is how to navigate higher income with taxes, retirement, insurance etc. I have had to learn personal finance by myself. That even though the paycheck is great how can I allocate my money to taxes, retirement, investing ( mutual funds etc), health insurance etc. I see so many people make great incomes but spend all their money in the mamalona, lavish parties etc and have no money in investing, retirement etc.

    This makes me so happy and so proud. I understand them completely. I am 1/2 Hispanic nurse practitioner in my county in Alabama. I work with 90% Spanish speaking patients and undocumented as well. It is truly a blessing to be able to help my people the way I wish my parents could’ve been treated when they first got to this country. It really makes a difference seeing people that look like you exceed the expectations! We will continue to rise ✊

I went through that too and I’m sure countless others have as well. Thank you La Plática for giving these men a platform to share their stories. I am so proud of them.

I graduated from Engineering and it sucked I couldn’t work in my field once I had earned my BS degree and when all of your graduating class was getting jobs little by little (bc in a tough economy back in 2008) you do get into all that mentally all this for what?
    But you got to keep pushing no matter what..

    I've been with my boyfriend since he applied to med school, and finally 10 years later he's all done! (First gen Dr♥) The whole med school process (before med school) is no joke, I have the upmost respect for anyone in Medicine and rooting for the future professionals in this world, y'all are truly heroes and make a difference in this crazy world! 👏

    As a Latina in medicine, I have never related to a podcast episode so much. I was emotional listening to this because I know what it’s like to have to work hard and pave an unknown path. Going through school and not being able to relate to your classmates is a different type of feeling, but they explained it so well. These guys are the type of influencers we need more of. I am soooo proud of them! Amazing episode 🙏🏼🖤

  • @bamtasticgirl
    @bamtasticgirl 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I agree with everyone else. Such an inspirational podcast and one of my favorites. This is the influence we all need. Can relate with them as a first generation graduate. I was so lost in the process and somehow ended up being an accountant after failed career tries. I am glad newer generations can have positive people to look up to.

  • @celestemontano
    @celestemontano 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    I never heard of them but I loved this podcast so much. As a Latina who is pursuing Dietetics, it’s really hard sometimes to feel like you ARE enough and that you should keep pushing for success. The counselors and advisors I’ve had for the most part were not so helpful, but I made it work for myself bc you can’t hold yourself back for anyone.

  • @Blanca7C
    @Blanca7C 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I loved this episode so much! Please bring on more people like these men who are making a huge difference in our community!
    I completely related to these guys being a first gen Latina therapist (also graduated from UCLA!). Having to navigate these spaces where our people have been historically excluded on our own is a whole different challenge that many people don’t understand. But, knowing my patients feel seen when they have a therapist who speaks the language and understands their struggles on a different level, makes it all worth it!
    Please bring these men back on soon, they should be regulars lol
