Dr. Hector Grajeda was frustrated with the inability to obtain medical residency in a mainland American hospital after graduating from medical school in Mexico. His opportunity came from a Puerto Rico Hospital that he’s never heard about.

In this episode, I bring you the the first part of Dr. Hector Grajeda inspiring story.

 

 

This Episode Summary

Dr. Grajeda grew up in Mexico. His mother was a teacher while his father, though uneducated, was a hard worker. Now a pediatrician at Cook’s Children’s in Fort Worth, Dr. Grajeda completed medical school in Mexico.

 

After medical school, the Grajeda family was thriving, but inspired by the words of a church leader, he decided he needed to do more.

Encouraged by his wife, he left behind his general practice to pursue specialized education in the United States. Though his college credits from Mexico were accepted in the United States, he was still required to take the United States Medical Licensing Examination. After months of study, he was permitted to pursue medical residency.

Mistakes, miscommunication, fires, and other mishaps have made for a bumpy journey, but Dr. Grajeda’s faith and love for his family has kept him going. He has also found himself in a different place than he expected, so he encourages others to be open to any opportunity.

Dr. Grajeda says the journey has been long, hard, difficult and expensive, but it has been worth it.

 

Dr. Grjeda’s story reveals some of the most important things that may help new immigrants as they begin their journey.

With every success immigrants score in their new adopted country, I believe there is a unique story behind that success, however, you define that success. There is a story about what drives each of us to leave the comfort and security of our upbringing to seek out a new beginning, to dream of a better life, or dream of what’s possible.
