“It’s not just about serving students a meal, but about greeting them with a smile and saying, ‘Hey, how are you doing today?
Harlingen South has been my school for almost 19 years. When my son was here, he was in the Cardinal Band. I was a band booster, and I helped sew their uniform pants. I always made sure to carry things in my bag that students might need for games and competitions, like new socks and gloves. Being able to help them made me so happy.
When my son went to college, I said, ‘God, what am I going to do now?’ But he gave me thousands of kids to serve. God gave me the opportunity to be here, and if he keeps giving me the chance to help the students in one way or another, I’ll be here for them.
The food we give out—it's fruit, it's milk, it’s a complete meal, and it’s free. Why not take advantage of it? I always tell students things like, ‘Come on, mijo, get your breakfast, save your money for college, or get your supper. Come on, please don’t go. Try it—you’ll love it.’
Something I always tell our athletes is, ‘Play with your heart, not with your bones. Bones can break, but your heart—no matter what happens, the spirit rises.’
At the end of the day, do you know what the most important thing is? It’s that we fed those kids and that we made them feel safe and important just by asking, ‘Hi, how are you doing today?’”
