The $100 Journey
The $100 Journey
About the Book
Over 25 years ago my parents made a decision that probably saved my life; they gathered my brothers and sisters and together as a family coax me into leaving my home in El Salvador. leaving behind everyone I loved. With the clothes on my back and $100 my parents gave me, I embarked in a journey full of hope and unknowns. The chronicles within are my humble effort to share my journey with you, with the hope that what I have learned in life and applied in my journey to become the CTO of a multi-million dollar business can help you help others and in the process help you in your own journey.
