Freddy Garcia
Born as the product of two hard-working Honduran immigrants, Freddy was given the opportunity to seek the American dream. His parents instilled a strong work ethic in Freddy at a young age and had always stressed the importance of education. Growing up in a New York neighborhood plagued by gang activity and riddled with drugs, Freddy rose above the negative influence of his town to pursue a better life. Freddy now follows his passion for engineering and is now in a higher form of academia to achieve his ultimate goal of obtaining a PhD. Maybe then he can return to his crime ridden town to help and inspire others.
