How it all Began
How it all Began
The thick aroma of motor oil and sweat has circulated in my blood since the day I came into this world. Born and raised in a small mechanic shop in Newark, the heavens placed me with parents who fled a Civil War and sacrificed everything to obtain the American Dream. An infertile mother's wish came true and named the child a gift from God: Mathew. They agreed that this child would have a better life than they did, no matter what life throws them.
Now, after 17 years, I have carried the burden as a first-generation student to strive for the best to take all the opportunities available and give it my everything, something my parents never had. As obstacles arise daily and challenges become more brutal, I guarantee I will continue to walk further until my dreams are accomplished. Nothing is going to stop me; I am proud of my roots, proud of who I am, and proud of my road in life. I am Mathew Hernandez.
