Marco In His Own Words: My Parents

well first of all I'm I'm blessed that my parents are still alive this is kind of such a big race that I would say incomprehensible but certainly much

bigger than what they felt I mean prince is still going to the twelfth twelve square blocks of their neighborhood and in those four square blocks you know I'm the big time front and

for them I think it's a bit of a I don't think they fully brace what monumental check regular people Michael stay and %HESITATION but

in the streets of and I mean just think about what that was the guy who was the security guard at the equivalent of a five who

cut a deal with the owner and said I'll be your security guard for a little bit of pay and the right to sleep in your store room and but to go on from there the

living in a country where their son is running for the United States Senate not just any the greatest history will the journey is such a long gap such

a long journey such a bits of paper I went up and I got to get let's start with that one but my pay because I struggle to find the words yeah

that's what my parents what they think about the select %HESITATION I think the race is probably big for real I mean to them their frame of reference is still kind of the twelve square block area of our neighborhood where they

kind of do a even to this I'm in that area run away you know and so I think maybe there now fully aware what big check this

is from but there are times when I when I wonder you know I sit back and I think gosh long way we my dad was six years old and this man died and had to go work with his father and basically worked every day from the time you turn thanks

for the ages this is a guy who was the security guard and Havana at the equivalent of a five and and cut a deal with the owner he

would be the security guard for a little bit of pain and the rights open the store room because you don't have a just think about how far we are today from

now I'm running for the U. the Senate of the single greatest country in history there were that's a long ways from the five and dime and

%HESITATION so I think that the trip is so low the gap between then and now is so how far we've really come and to me it's not just that to

them because it is they've worked very I've given up a lot and they sacrificed you know their single mission in life was there and our bill fill

our dreams and up it's also America I recognize that if we had gone somewhere else I wouldn't be that doesn't mean we wouldn't be happy you know would have been successful I

wouldn't be yes we certainly couldn't made that journey without law that's the countrywoman to
