I get letters from kids from all over the country. I always try to answer them because there were people I looked up to in my youth and just wanted to be in contact with.

Seeing Mexicans in the media is rare. Seeing role models on TV is rare. So who do we look up to? We're not seen on football fields or basketball courts. So we look up to fighters; they're Mexican. They are out there fighting, representing their people, and winning champions. We look up to them.

I didn't have access to affordable healthcare.
