It's not often that you hear about a success story like Cesar Cruz's. For the past 19 years, this Mexican immigrant has been working as an educator in Oakland, California, a city you rarely hear happy stories about. Besides teaching and working as a high school dean, Cruz also started a program to help kids avoid gangs and violence.
This year, he became the first immigrant male to attend Harvard University's Graduate School of Education Doctoral Program for Educational Leadership, a truly remarkable fete. Cruz's dream is to utilize his time at Harvard to find more funding for his after school program and inspire his young students to follow in his positive path. If you think Cruz's story is truly amazing, please SHARE it to help inspire others.
