My abuelitas went from:

– surviving rural parts of Guerrero and Oaxaca, #Mexico
– having no access to education
– raising 3 and 4 children on their OWN
– waiting 8 and 13 years to see their grandchildren

…to making this today.

The goal of receiving a world class education at the #1 Public University and the opportunity to play football brought some of the brightest young men together. Today we celebrate their accomplishments. Congrats Golden Bears #CalGrad #CalFamily pic.twitter.com/ywSmWZnWfm
