“Mexican” columnist encourages families to seek higher education – Gustavo Arellano, “Ask a Mexican” columnist, spoke to Concordia Elementary parents Thursday night.

“College wasn’t a priority in Gustavo Arellano’s household growing up. When he brought the subject up in high school, it was actually met with resistance.

“My dad was angry, and felt defied,” Arellano told a group of 25 Concordia Elementary parents Thursday night. “I said, ‘I don’t want to work like you. I don’t want to get up at 3 a.m. and work six days a week and always be tired.’”"*
