Love, Courage and Hope-That's all I had left in me. At 16 years old I was at rock bottom, I was lost and confused. Being undocumented made everything a million times worse. I didn't know what my identity was; I didn't feel like I belong. On top of everything, I was in jail for armed robbery. You can tell a lot about a person when they are at their lowest point. Do they get up or chose to stay down? I knew life had to get better at some point so I continued to fight: that was the only option. Wins and losses, that's what my life is defined by. My Name is Manny Flores, and this is my story.
